Tricia Stuth, FAIA is a designer and academic working on the construction of architecture that engages people and places intimately, creatively, and collaboratively. She embeds student learning in everyday experiences and structures public, government, and professional partnerships to understand and critically question architecture as a social, spatial, and material practice. Her studios and courses explore design, history, and policy issues concerned with housing, urban design, preservation, historic reuse, materials and construction. Themes embedded in academic work and practice intersect and constellate around infill housing and adaptive reuse of buildings and spaces and the circumstances of industrialization, deindustrialization, and the always complex and frequently unjust effects of urban renewal and redevelopment. She is recipient of two ACSA/AIA Housing Design Education Awards, the ACSA/AIAS New Faculty Teaching Award, the ACSA Design/Build Award, and the NCARB Prize for the Creative Integration of Teaching and Practice. She co-led the New Norris House, a university design/build teaching and research project with a national record of funding, publication, and awards. Students in her Housing America studio were awarded third place in ACSA’s 2024 Timber in the City: Urban Habitats Competition. An AIA Young Architect (2010), University of Tennessee Cox Professor (2013-2015), Affiliated Fellow of the American Academy in Rome (2014), and Fellow of the AIA (2017), her teaching, scholarship, and practice have been widely recognized and disseminated. She co-edited JAE 72:2 Preserve and was a JAE editorial board member from 2015-18. Her architectural practice curb, co-founded with Ted Shelton, FAIA, is recognized with AIA national, regional and local design awards and research fellowships. Prior to curb, she gained experience with Miller Hull (Seattle, WA), Kieran Timberlake (Philadelphia, PA), and Ellis Miller Architects (Cambridge, UK). Tricia is a a candidate in Virginia Tech’s practice-based Ph.D. program, researching into her practice and the unfinished in architecture and design.
