Shannon Clayton holds a M.Arch and B.Arch Sci from Ryerson University. Her Master’s thesis considered the potential development of imageability and sense of place within North American postwar suburbs, through an understanding and re-envisioning of modernity. This lead to an exploration of themes of pragmatism, landscape urbanism, the megastructure, and the master plan. Shannon continues her interest in postwar architecture and criticism, and has a special interest in the conservation and adaptive reuse of modern heritage and urban design.
