Biography

Nikole’s interdisciplinary research and design work straddles the space between art, architecture, and landscape to discover ideas that stimulate ecologically sensitive and culturally relevant design interventions. Nikole engages in projects of all scales and media that explore contextually driven methods of design where experiments embody a unique sense of fantastical pragmatism—are playful, yet intentional, well-informed, and environmentally conscious.

Nikole is an associate professor in the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and a critic in the School of Architecture at Yale University. She has also taught at Cornell University, Syracuse University, the University of Waterloo, and the University of Toronto. Nikole has worked at the offices of Steven Holl Architects, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, and Lateral Office. She has been a James Harrison Steedman fellow, a MacDowell fellow, and an artist-in-residence at Baer Art Center in Hofsós, Iceland.

Nikole edited and contributed to the bookÌýWASTE MATTERS: Adaptive Reuse for Productive LandscapesÌýpublished by Routledge.
