She is particularly concerned with the relationship between aesthetics and sustainable design. As Principal in Brooks Clifford design and Project Architect at Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, she has tested these issues on many built projects. Her current research concerns the role of architectural design on experiential learning for classrooms and playgrounds with the goal of enabling children to learn through direct sensory engagement with natural phenomena. As a design studio instructor at Carnegie Mellon University, she teaches spatial and material composition, emphasizing the physical, sensorial and intellectual integration of the natural and built environments.
