Kimberly Shoemaker

Kimberly Shoemaker is graduating with a masters degree in architecture. After her experience at traditional firms in Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania, she spent last summer working at a firm in New York City specializing in installations and public art. This experience allowed her to merge her interests of architecture and sculpture as she studied both in undergrad at the University of Pittsburgh. The architecture studios at Penn have allowed her to explore nontraditional design approaches while focusing on material explorations at the micro and macro scale. Kimberly completed a thesis to finish her education at Penn with a project titled Architecture of Counter Surveillance: Disorientation, Intervention, and Escape in a Filtered Reality.
