Isabella Trindade is an architect, interior designer, educator, and researcher with more than 20 years of experience in academic and professional design practice. Her teaching encompasses undergraduate and graduate courses in design studio, the history and theory of architecture and interiors, digital and traditional fabrication, computational media, and senior capstone studios. Her pedagogy integrates emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) in design processes and Virtual Reality (VR) in history and theory courses and design studio reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trindade\u2019s research focuses on architectural history, theory, and criticism, with particular emphasis on mid-century modern architecture and interiors in the post\u2013World War II period. Her scholarship examines cultural exchange between Europe, North America, and Latin America and its influence on architectural and interior design, with a particular focus on Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her professional practice spans Brazil, Canada, France, Spain, and the United States and includes built projects, interior design, competition entries, and award-winning work. This transnational experience informs both her teaching and research, allowing her to bring a global and culturally engaged perspective to design education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
