PEDAGOGY

Through our design work we are provoking and unpacking diverse perspectives on the urban and social significance of death-related spatial practices and their intersections with civic life and environment. Our projects harness science and spirituality, resulting in a system that transforms our biomass into an enduring collective urban memorial for intimate individual memories.

Since 1997 Rothstein has taught both core and advanced design studios in the Graduate School of Architecture at Columbia University, where she is an Associate Professor. Her areas of research span the intimate spaces of urban domestic life, death and memory, to intersections of social justice and the built environment.
