Julia Jamrozik is passionate about design and architectural preservation. However, rather than focusing on physical artifacts, she takes a personal approach by examining the impacts of buildings on their inhabitants.

鈥淭hrough an expanded idea of preservation, we can learn from inhabitants鈥� personal stories and understand a more social history of buildings,鈥� said Jamrozik. To that end, she co-wrote the book 鈥淕rowing Up Modern: Childhoods in Iconic Homes,鈥� examining the impact of some of the very earliest and most radical Modernist buildings on their original inhabitants. In her creative practice, Jamrozik looks at interactions between people and the spaces they occupy by working with colour, play and narrative. These tools help her imagine and realize temporary and permanent installations, domestic spaces and 鈥渟ocial infrastructures.鈥�

As an educator, Jamrozik emphasizes that design doesn鈥檛 occur in a vacuum by stressing the role of historical and contemporary precedents. 鈥淚 try to convey to my students that design is not about the building itself but about the spaces they鈥檙e creating for people,鈥� said Jamrozik. 鈥淚 want them to think of the work they do from the perspective of those that will use it.鈥�
