Dan Hoffman was educated at the Cooper Union and worked in the office of Edward Barnes in New York. He was head of the Cranbrook Department of Architecture from 1986-1996 and Director of the Cranbrook Architecture Office from 1995-1998. At Cranbrook Hoffman and his students were engaged in a variety of studies and projects related to material process in the building arts. Their speculative work was noted for its use of site-specific installations and is documented in Architecture Studio published by Rizzoli. Hoffman and his students were also involved in the design and construction of various permanent structures on the Cranbrook campus. Here in Arizona Hoffman is examining the tectonic possibilities of found and fabricated building materials such as small diameter round wood and fiber reinforced concrete. His current projects include the design of a prototype Hogan for the Navajo (with Professor Jeffry Cook) and a camp in the pine forests of Arizona.
