Researcher, innovator, space explorer
Luz Wallace, is a current fellow at IPA Institute for Public Architecture Block house, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of design technology, architectural robotics, and organic matter integration. Her current endeavors delve in experimentation that explores the distinction between human perception and plant behavior. By pondering the sentience of seamingly motionless flowers, challenging conventional notions of what nature is to us.
Through experimentations she dedicates her time to pushing the boundaries of design technology, architectural robotics, and organic matter integration.
At Pratt Institute, she serves as a visiting professor and coordinator for social media and exhibitions, where she teaches advanced architectural studios, media representation, architectural technologies and introducing new AI modes of design. Luz has earned the AIA Henry Adams Medal Award and the SARA national award for student research. Her work on “synthetic landscapes” was showcased at the Berlin Design Week exhibition.
In the profession, Luz is CTO and Architectural designer at OLI Architecture. Her work extends to the realms of cultural, civic, hospitality, and art parks, while pursuing new design workflows through AI and software implementation. Her portfolio includes landscape architecture through shaping manhattan native green roofs and permaculture gardens with Landscape design studio CDL/S.
As one of the past founding members of Pratt Institute’s graduate DEI organization, she is committed to advancing diversity and equality within architectural education and the profession. In the past, her team has collaborated with NOMAS and Pratt Futures lecture series to foster inclusivity in architectural education.
