Jonathan Foote (US), Ph.D, is an architect and Associate Professor at Aarhus School of Architecture.

He leads the research group, Ecologies of Stone, a Denmark-based, transdisciplinary research group that examines stone extraction and massive stone construction as an interconnected, cyclical process.

He has chaired conferences and published widely on stone and marble in the humanities, including work in Michelangelo’s stone template drawings and a recent, co-edited book, Imaginaries on Matter: Tools, Materials, Origins (AADR). He is a key member of the international research group NeReMa (International Network for Research on Marble and Decorative Stones), and has produced multiple, exhibition-based research projects using Nordic stones and marble.

At OPEN24, you can experience the marble work Another Crack In The Wall, which Foote created together with Karen Kjaergaard.
