Wendy Allison Cox
- Professor Emerita
About
Wendy Cox is a Professor of Architecture at Norwich University and a registered architect since 1996 with a private practice, Studio Twentyseven, located in Warren, Vermont, and Vinalhaven, Maine. She teaches modern architectural history and theory and design studios and seminars examining social justice and resilient design through cultural critique. She has been a guest critic for SCI-Arc, Dartmouth College, École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-La Villette, UMass Amherst, Smith College, Marywood, RISD, and the Cranbrook Academy of Art and a Visiting Assistant Professor in Middlebury College's Architectural Studies program. Several publications recognize her participation as an intern with Eisenman Architects. She received a research fellowship at the Wolfram Science Summer Program at Brown University.
Professor Cox's dual research areas are helping to solve Climate Change through developing theories connecting the physical sciences with the architectural discipline and the prior and beginning of the historic mid-twentieth century firm The Architects Collaborative, focusing on work by two early female architecture partners of the firm, Sarah Pillsbury Harkness and Jean Bodman Fletcher. She initiated the study of 3D branching with surface envelope and furthered this project through an artist residency at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, Vermont. She received an award in the Women in Military Service for America competition with her boards exhibited at the National Building Museum in Washington D.C. and archived at the completed building.
