Shona Kitchen is an internationally renowned multidisciplinary artist/designer with a passion for technological advancement. Kitchen focuses her attention across several fields, which allow a breadth of exploration on current and future technologies through architecture/interaction design and conceptual narrative architectural proposals.

Her work explores the intersections between the physical and virtual and the ways in which they manifest themselves as new spatial experiences. Using technology to enhance and enrich rather than distract from the culture and aesthetics of their surroundings and considering their subsequent consequences socially, politically and environmentally.

Shona Kitchen graduated from Architecture at the Royal College of Art, London, in 1997. From 1997-2004 she ran KRD (Kitchen Rogers Design, www.krd-uk.com), her own London based partnership. From 1997-2002 she was a part time Research Fellow in Interaction Design Department at the Royal College of Art, London. From 2002-2006 she was Design tutor at the Royal College of Art, London.

Since 2004, her work has taken her further a field enabling explorative research time. She spent a 3 month Jan- March '06 as a Researcher/Associate Professor at the Center for Advanced Visualization and Interaction (CAVI), Aarhus, Denmark researching the speculative consequences of RFID and Nanotechnology on our every day lives.
