Wes Janz is an architectural educator at Ball State University, uniting professional education (MArch, UW-Milwaukee, 1978; PhD, University of Michigan, 1995) with building activities alongside architects, architecture students, and the world's working and urban poor. He regularly teaches design studios in the postprofessional Master of Architecture II program, and upper level theory seminars. As Director of the MArch II program, he shapes a 'global citizen-architect' mission, recruiting students from Southeast and South Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the US. He is also Co-Director of CapAsia, an 11-week immersive program that provides a cross section of world architecture, urbanism, and planning for graduate and undergraduate students  in selected South Asian regions and cities. With students, faculty colleagues, and his collaborators in 26262625 Architects, he has constructed no-cost installations built of scavenged materials in Argentina, Sri Lanka, and the US. He regularly presents peer-reviewed papers, including the ACSA Regional, National and International Meetings, the SAH and ASA Annual Meetings, and the AIA National Convention.
