M A Greenstein

Dr. M. A. Greenstein is a Los Angeles based writer, ethnographic researcher, and curriculum designer focused on world art and design. She has been innovating on the front lines of higher education, knowledge transfer and communication media, working to bring cross-sector and cross-cultural perspectives into arts and design studio collaboration and publication. Conducting live interviews and conversations have been at
the heart of her research efforts, recognizing products and systems are made stronger when pollinated with real time by diverse cultural sources of human and machine intelligence. A former AsiaPacific Fulbright scholar writing on cultural attitudes toward “bodies moving in space,” Dr Greenstein now conducts architectural and spatial design research exploration closer to home: Her projects range from biometric analysis of housing types built across early American US to conducting community and workforce development research for C4GS ZeroCarbon EcoVillage Build projects in southern California and throughout the southern United States region.

At present she is VP of Knowledge Transfer for C4GS — a young socially responsible company dedicated to designing and building for a ZeroCarbon waste future. In addition, she is a West Coast senior researcher with the Human Architecture and Planning Institute (HAPI.org) and an Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture (https://anfarch.org/) educator. With an enduring commitment to educating the future generation of spatial designers, Dr Greenstein is on the adjunct faculties at Art Center College of Design, Humanities and Science program and Pasadena City College Architectural Design program.
