Professor Knox has taught at Kansas State since 1990 where he teaches upper level design studios, architectural computing, construction and theory courses. He has often taught in Kansas State’s Study in Italy program. His students have won several local, regional and national competitions. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture Degree from Kansas State University and a Master of Architecture from the University of Virginia where he studied under Tod Williams. He also studied at the Arkitektskolen i Aarhus in Denmark.

Professor Knox is a licensed architect and has worked for several leading architectural firms in Kansas City and maintains a small practice devoted to small projects and competitions. Many of the projects arise out of his interest in the relationship between landscape and architecture from the perspective of the Italian Renaissance villa and the eighteenth-century English country house and the picturesque garden movement.

For the last several years Professor Knox has been conducting a year-long studio where the language of film is used in the design process and the communication of architecture through short animated films. These films use narrative, movement and image to create an immersive experience in the un-built. His latest seminar will be on the use of digital visual effects in architecture.
