As a visiting professor and coordinator for social media and exhibitions, she focuses on media representation, architectural technologies and introducing new AI modes of design. Luz has earned the AIA Henry Adams Medal Award and the SARA national award for student research. Her work on “synthetic landscapes” was showcased at the Berlin Design Week exhibition. As CTO and Architectural designer at OLI Architecture, her work extends to the realms of cultural buildings, and art parks, while pursuing new design workflows through AI and software implementation. Her portfolio includes landscape architecture through shaping manhattan native green roofs and permaculture gardens with Landscape design studio CDL/S.
