He was trained in business and architecture, and has taught at Yale University, Columbia GSAPP and the University of Virginia. Philip Nobel is a practicing architect and architecture and design critic who has written for Artforum, Vogue, The New York Times, Metropolis, The Nation and other publications.

Their current work includes the Barclays Center at Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn, a two-mile esplanade and park along the East River Waterfront, the Innovation Hub Government Complex in Botswana, Africa, the South Street Seaport Redevelopment in New York, and projects for Google in Mountain View, CA.
