Danielle Kohut is a first-generation American architect, born in California and raised by a motherhood of mountains. She constructs situations that question the divide between human and natural processes, proposing instead a continuity between organic and industrial life.
Currently, she [me] is pursuing dual paths of artistry and academia in relating domestic architecture plan and program to a culture’s embodied understanding of the membrane between man and nature. Danielle hopes to pursue further opportunities in ethnographic studies of the far North.

This still life seeks to represent an in-home documentation area. Dan Koh is interested in the aesthetics of vacancy and purity applied to domestic spaces as a performance of feminine perfection. For the first time ever in the history of our species, signs of wealth and power are broadcasted not by opulence, but by austerity.

The form of a desk - a surface for my study. The place where trash treasures are both assemblage artifacts and evidence of process. This piece was installed tucked away within the staircase of an abandoned, derelict fish factory. A modern collapsed economic Iceland hosting a romanticized vision of the past.

Endangered Architecture presents: turftalks, a three part series on turffacts, turffiction, and turffables. Aired live on Seydisfjordur Community Radio during a winter at the LungA School, Turf Talks weaved academic and cultural content for your listening pleasure. Listen now on soundcloud.

2026
Environmental abberation, grading nature, finding a winner, finding a loser. Species identification and representation through human actors during live gallery installation, with playscript accompaniament.
sound, audio, silence
Unit 2 Art Gallery
2026
Created sound ‘erosion’, an invisible desire path experienced through audio performance, linking the present condition and oral history of the gallery building. Using radio as home of intimate and public space, we guided a journey through the floor plan, weaving realities and geographies into a live audio arts archive.
sheep hair raw, sheep hair spun
2026
Instead of humans imitating the environment, the environment imitating humans. Unsynthesized ‘natural’ materials pretending to be building blocks for a real 100% Icelandic rural development scheme.
dead things, alive things
2025
The artist investigates life after death. And a post-climate future in which recycled shelters populate an aquaterrestria of no boundaries.

The home as a protective enclosure. An external tectonic for extreme internal hollowness provides purity.

This piece plays with scale and transparency to visualize key materials of structural concrete and steel. 6 blocks, 6’ tall.

Powers have employed the triptych to communicate binary fables to unlearned masses. Good and evil, heaven and hell, future and past, have shouldered mediocre, dismal, and present depictions of humankind. The artist applies these fabrications to cultural misunderstandings of the arroyo before, during, and after Los Angeles.
