Julianna Cano

Julianna Cano is an emerging architect from Southern California and a soon to be graduate of the Master of Architecture program from the University of Pennsylvania. Her unique sensibility as a designer is indicative of her wide range of experiences working for a variety of architects, fashion designers, media agencies and publishing houses in addition to her previous undergraduate education at the University of San Francisco in Business Administration and Liberal Arts.

She has worked for a range of industry-leading architects including Neil Denari, UNStudio, Ballinger and Snøhetta. While at Snøhetta she worked on the winning competition proposal for the Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library that will soon be built in Medora, North Dakota overlooking the Badlands National Park.

Currently, Julianna is working on her thesis project titled, Spectral Minutiae under the advice of Ferda Kolatan; which interrogates our relationship with nature and public space through the post-humanist folly. The thesis aims to push the boundaries of the imagination through surrealist imagery while critically examining current ecological issues surrounding urban communities.
