Lori Brown is co-founder of ArchiteXX, a group dedicated to transforming the architecture profession for women. She is an architect, author and associate professor at Syracuse University. Her work actively exists within not only traditional architecture, but more importantly within the social, political, and institutional environments, which is typically not found within the realm of architecture. Her active work attempts to impact people’s everyday lives, as architecture has the ability to do.

Feminist Practices, an international group of women designers whose work includes feminist methodologies, was curated and organized by Lori. She was awarded with the American Institute of Architects Diversity Best Practice Honorable Mention in 2008. Within the following years, in 2012, she teamed up with Nina Freedman and began the ArchiteXX group in New York City. This group seeks to support, network, and rigorously create design actions that reveal the potential of architecture in the world.

Lori is a registered architect in the state of New York, along with qualifying as a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the American Association of University Women.
