Her work and research focuses on built environments and landscapes that are shaped and mediated by advanced materials, technologies and energies, within the context of complex ecological, economic, and social systems. Current research includes: The Stratus Project, a kinetic interior envelope which aims to attune one’s attention to the immediate air-based environment and to the physical conditions that produce it; research in responsive building envelopes and occupant control systems; as well as a project on energy- and mobility-based urbanism in the Great Lakes Mega-region.
