About

Skye Ruozzi is an architectural designer, builder, and artist working at the intersection of ecological design, participatory architecture, and spatial justice. She integrates environmental ethics with technical expertise, using architecture as a medium for connection, transformation, and resistance. Her work engages local materials—clay, straw, timber, and stone—not only for their ecological potential but as tools for cultivating shared knowledge and place-based practices.

With years of experience in architectural design, building code consultancy, and collaborative fabrication, Skye moves fluidly between drawing sets and job sites. She has led natural building workshops, interactive installations, and mobile makerspaces across the U.S. and Latin America, partnering with organizations such as the International Design Clinic and Turnaround Arts. Her work has been exhibited internationally and recognized for its focus on community engagement and design for the common good.

Whether drafting legalization drawings for artist live-work spaces or guiding participatory builds in the field, Skye’s practice bridges technical rigor with visionary experimentation. She is committed to cultivating built environments that are not only structurally sound, but socially rooted, ecologically responsive, and open to collective imagination.

She is the co-founder of TRANSFORMATIVE ART COLLECTIVE, constructing and touring with interactive installations for ten years.

She graduated from PRATT INSTITUTE School of Architecture with a BArch and previously studied at the Aalto University Wood Program. Her degree project work was on display at the Tomorrows exhibition at Onassis Cultural Center in Athens, Greece.

She has over six years experience with community-driven design-build projects with the INTERNATIONAL DESIGN CLINIC. The work received a Special Mention at the 13th International Architecture Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia as part of the US Pavilion show SpontaneousInterventions : design actions for the common good.

She was an architect-in-training and expeditor at MUNYC ARCHITECTURE.

She received her Permaculture Design Certification from the CENTER FOR BIOREGIONAL LIVING.

In her free time, she is involved in psychedelic community-building and was a volunteer-turned-lead employee at HORIZONS CONFERENCE from 2015 - 2023.
