Kiel Moe's work focuses on both the appearance and performance of buildings. This inevitably involves the research and deployment of prudent material and energy systems for each project. Kiel's design research oscillates between the production of buildings and books. The research behind his books directly informs the design and construction of his buildings.

Kiel Moe is an architectural designer, professor, and author. He received his Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Cincinnati, his Master of Architecture from the University of Virginia, and his Master in Design Studies from the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. He has taught at Syracuse University and University of Illinois, Chicago. At Northeastern, Moe teaches design studios and lectures on the topic of integrated design. He has a design-build practice for small, research-driven projects.
