Cory Henry

Cory Henry founded the eponymous interdisciplinary design studio, Atelier Cory Henry, following 14 years working with renowned architects, including Michael Graves. Cory has maintained a commitment to addressing contemporary urban conditions through a combination of poetic design solutions and socially conscious ideals. He has developed a reputation as a contextually sensitive designer, with a strong dedication to generating spaces through collaborations, research, listening, and understanding of cultural narratives, contextual conditions, and values.

Cory Henry’s project undertaking in Bogliasco Foundation is the design of an exhibition/installation highlighting the relational dynamics and role of public space as an arena to foster, or deny, democratic practices. The installation is a continuation of his research and teaching in examining the social and economic realities of spatial inequities – primarily within public space – and the different ways in which disadvantaged communities articulate their own identities and transform space to place.
