John Zissovici received his bachelor’s and master’s of architecture from Cornell University. He teaches architectural design and courses that deal with the impact of digital media on architectural thinking. His current research on imagescape urbanism in Google Earth, brings into alignment his various teaching interests.

His architectural work includes built projects, competitions and speculative work, and has been published in Japan, Austria, Germany, Ireland, and the U.S.

He has received grants from the Institute for Studies in the Arts, Arizona State University, New York Foundation for the Arts, and The Burchfield-Penney Art Center. His large-scale installations involving digital media, robotics, and videos have been exhibited at the Phoenix Museum of Art, The Burchfield-Penney Art Center, Tsing Ha University in Beijing, and the Johnson Museum of Art in Ithaca.

He is currently working on a photographer’s studio in Brittany, France, an addition to a Richard Neutra house near Hamburg, Germany, an addition to his own house in Ithaca, and a book on robotic photography. He has recently begun a project documenting and writing about the driving ranges of Japan.
