Fauzia Sadiq Garcia is a registered architect, educator and artist harnessing technological advancements to challenge traditional use of materials and construction methods while advocating for a multidisciplinary approach to design that can influence new methodologies. Her research focuses on high-performance building envelopes, evaluating the multiple facets of exterior cladding to shift beyond aesthetic functions to a more holistic approach for cladding. Her teaching focuses on architectural design, building technology, and sustainability. She’s taught a senior level architecture studio with a project site in the Mojave Desert to research resiliency during extreme heat and drought climate conditions. Fauzia is currently researching environmental justice issues surrounding oil refinery sites in Philadelphia and Los Angeles in collaboration with Olin. She will be teaching a graduate elective studio focusing on LA for students to envision land use changes for future decommissioned refineries that will address the needs of surrounding residential communities.
Fauzia is principal at Sadiq Garcia Design, a visual arts and design practice that employs various modes of fabrication for custom products and creative design solutions for architectural projects. She has decades of professional experience working at firms in Atlanta, New York City and Philadelphia on high-profile international projects and award-winning national projects that range from small to large in scale.
