M A Greenstein

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. A former AsiaPacific Fulbright scholar focused on spatial design, Dr Greenstein now conducts architectural research closer to home: Her projects range from biometric analysis of housing types built across early American US to conducting workforce development research for ZeroCarbon EcoVillage Build projects in Southern California.

At present, Dr Greenstein is the VP of Knowledge Transfer for C4GS.org — 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 educator (https://anfarch.org/). These positions grow out of her decade long effort to run GGI, an R & D institute dedicated to educating future spatial designers in the neuroscience of architecture. She is currently on the adjunct faculties at Art Center College of Design, Humanities and Science program and Pasadena City College Architectural Design program.
