Benjamin Gaber

Ben received his master’s degree in Architecture from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. While at the GSD, Ben was a CNC Router Technical Assistant in the Fabrication Lab, organized the Faith in Design conference, and was a student assistant in the Executive Education program. His thesis was a set of designs for a standardized reproductive health clinic. The design aspect originated out of field research studying New Deal era post offices across the U.S., which he continues to pursue in his free time.

Ben also holds bachelor’s degrees in Architecture and Midrash from Columbia University and the Jewish Theological Seminary and has had internships in Boston, New York, and Shanghai. Ben loves to travel to new cities. He is a runner and listens to too many podcasts.
