Kazys Varnelis [CV] is the Director of the Network Architecture Lab at the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation. In 2005-2006 he was a visiting scholar at the University of Southern California's Annenberg Center for Communication's "Networked Publics" program. Kazys is also a member of the founding faculty at the School of Architecture at the University of Limerick, Ireland. Together with Robert Sumrell, he runs the non-profit architectural collective AUDC and occasionally works with the Center for Land Use Interpretation.

Kazys's teaching and research focuses on contemporary architecture, late modernism, architecture and capitalism, and the impact of recent changes in telecommunications and demographics on the contemporary city. Most recently, Kazys has been exploring Network Culture, the Network City, and Networked Publics.

You may be looking for Kazys's father, also of the same name [1917-]. Information on his gallery can be found on the web site of the Lithuanian National Museum. There is less available on the Internet for the first Kazys Varnelis [1871-1945], this Kazys's grandfather and a folk artist. One of his sculptures, can however, be seen here.
