Gloria Chang

Gloria Chang is a Visiting Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon Architecture. She is interested in humanitarian response, speculative spatiality and hybrid and fiber-based materiality. She has worked in design-build, landscape and traditional architectural firms, with her training completed at Pei Cobb Freed and Partners. Her work in the U.S. Peace Corps and the U.S. Naval War College resulted in a study on newness in disaster and the response efforts. Her current project examines spatial patterns and architectural veracity through built and unbuilt forms in fantasy landscape, recognizing the differentiator of author identity (i.e., race, queerness and gender) and chronological context on the characterization of space. Gloria is skilled in cross-cultural negotiation and mediation, which she practices in local courts. She received her M.Arch and MDes (Risk and Resilience) degrees from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and her B.Arch and BA in Architecture and Visual and Dramatic Arts from Rice University.
