Doris is a designer, researcher, and educator who believes in the power of curiosity. She often explores architectural and urban projects using a design-research method from multidisciplinary perspectives, and experiments with oral-historical, visual, and playful mediums in the process. Doris wants to contribute to transformative urban environments and communities through creative and inclusive design practices.
Keen on research and teaching as forms of practice, her academic interests center around narratives and memories of underrepresented personal accounts and prosaic forms in living environments as rich sources to perceive everyday life and the urban scape under global and regional crises. Specifically, she searches for alternative authorships in architectural education and practice that advocate nuances and fluctuations in their positionalities and challenge any pre-posed, pre-constructed cultural and social perception.
Doris is currently an adjunct faculty member at Boston Architectural College and Wentworth Institute of Technology, a researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and an associate at James Lima Planning + Development. She holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Southern California and a Master's degree in Architectural Studies and Urbanism from MIT.
