Amber Farrow
Amber Farrow is a 2021 Master of Architecture candidate at the Weitzman School of Design. While at Penn, she founded the student club, Dinner Discourse; which fosters an interdisciplinary conversation between students over a shared meal. Since 2019, she has been the Professional Development and Programming Chair for Penn Women in Design, whose mission is to promote equity in the profession and encourage a more inclusive pedagogy in academia.
Her work revolves around the intersection between science and design and she is particularly interested in boundaries, matter, and aesthetics. She is a co-editor of the forthcoming book, Bio/Matter/Techno/Synthetics: Design Futures for the More than Human, which collects important female voices who articulate alternative visions for the field of design in increasingly complex aesthetic, ethical, environmental, and socio-political contexts.
Recently, Farrow received the 2020 Van Alen Traveling Fellowship, which is awarded annually to one architecture and one landscape architecture student at Weitzman; she was also awarded the 2018 Stanley G. Kennedy Architectural Award by the Institute of Bermuda Architects. Before Penn, she earned her Bachelor of Architecture degree from Newcastle University and she has worked internationally at firms in Tokyo, New York, and Bermuda
