Lori Brown is an architect an artist.  She received a Bachelor of Science degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Ecole d’Architecture in Paris and a Master of Architecture degree from Princeton University.  At the intersections of Architecture, Art, Geography, and Women’s Studies, her work emerges from the belief that architecture can participate in and impact people’s everyday lives.  Her design, speculative work, and classes all engage with the larger idea of broadening the discourse and involvement of architecture in our world.  Focusing particularly on the relationships between architecture and social justice issues, she has currently placed emphasis on gender and its impact upon spatial relationships.  She has recently been working with the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation designing a Library of Feminism, the Upstate University Hospital renovation design for their chapel, and a local architect designing housing for single mothers recently released from incarceration.  She is also investigating the space of abortion clinics and how legal rulings impact first amendment rights.  She has been awarded artist residencies at Macdowell, Jentel and Caldera and her work has been published in 306090, gender forum, Women and Environments International Magazine,Journal of International Women’s Studies and has been awarded an AIA Unbuilt Design Award. She is an associate professor at Syracuse University where her teaching builds upon her interdisciplinary interests and goals of challenging the gendered academic landscape with alternative pedagogical methods.
