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 like clay, straw, timber, and stone; not only for their ecological potential but as tools for cultivating shared knowledge and place-based practices.

With two decades 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.
