Paul Francis Feeney is the cofounder of FAR, a practice which interweaves building, research, social and sculptural projects. For Paul, architecture = sculpture = life. This triad informs his practice as well as his teaching as the unit tutor of Intermediate 11 at the AA. Paul has worked for the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) in the Netherlands as well as Herzog & de Meuron in Switzerland. Since 2019 he has taught in Asia and the UK. Paul completed his Master’s in architecture at Duncan of Jordanstone School of Art in Scotland where he received the Geddes Guild award. Paul resides in Dorset on the 180-million-year-old Jurassic coast which is a perpetual stimulant for new ways of thinking.
