Ronald Rael (born 1971, Conejos County, Colorado)[1] is an American artist known for architecture, human rights and environmental advocacy along the U.S. - Mexico border, earthen architecture, and pioneering work in developing materials for 3D printing.[2] He works independently, and operates collaboratively in the design ventures Emerging Objects, a "make-tank" that develops 3D printed materials, objects, software, hardware, as well as startup companies,[3] and Rael San Fratello, a social practice design based studio with the architect Virginia San Fratello.[4] In 2020 Rael San Fratello received the prestigious Beazely Award from the London Design Museum[5] and in 2021 the International Award for Art from the Institute for Public Art[6] for their project Teeter Totter Wall. In 2014 Rael San Fratello received the Emerging Voices award from the Architectural League of New York.[7] He co-founded FORUST, a 3D printing company that uses sawdust, which was acquired by the 3D printing company Desktop Metal.[8]
He is a tenured full professor at the
His collaborative work is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art,[10] the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art,[4] and The Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum. Their series, Bad Ombres v.2, was acquired by the Smithsonian American Art Museum as part of the Renwick Gallery's 50th Anniversary Campaign.[11][12] He was educated at the University of Colorado Boulder and Columbia University.[13]
