Frank Fantauzzi received his undergraduate degree from Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada and his graduate degree from Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
He has taught in numerous programs in Canada, the United States, and Finland. His research focuses on the question of alternative forms of critical architectural practice. Parallel to teaching, Fantauzzi has also been engaged in an active art practice, which began in 1989. His work is often collaborative and focuses on large-scale installations and outdoor constructions. It has been exhibited and published internationally.
