Having completed his PhD at the University of Chicago, Taylor moved from Bangkok to Cambridge as a Postdoctoral Fellow at metaLAB at Harvard University, and an employee fellow at the Berkman Klein Institute at Harvard Law School. Despite the rigors of his Fellowship, Taylor could not stop designing, completing three residential projects in the Boston area while creating academic articles and completing his dissertation. In December 2024, Taylor decided to open StudioLowe.

As a Postdoc at Harvard, Taylor is completing his book project, The State of Design: Design Activism and Cosmopolitical Representation in Thailand. To understand the possibilities that design has created for political action in Bangkok today, he conducted an 18-month ethnographic study of self-described ‘design activists’ working to transform Thai society through their design of government architecture. Across his work, he asks: why is design a medium for politics, what politics can its processes afford, and what subjects does it create?

Taylor holds a Masters in Architecture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and a PhD in Anthropology from the University of Chicago. His work has been exhibited at the AEDES Gallery in Berlin, the Sullivan Studios in Chicago, and the Ladakhi Arts and Media Organization in Ladakh, India. He has taught architecture and social theory at Chulalongkorn University, Cornell University, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and the University of Chicago.
