I won the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati against Rem Koolhaas and other leading architects, and became the first woman to design an art museum in the United States. I used form to create interior drama in an 8,500 m² building.

For Vitra's factory in Weil am Rhein I designed a small fire station in raw concrete and glass — sharp diagonal forms colliding in the centre. It became my first built work and the start of my architectural career.

I am an architect, artist and designer. I use painting as a design tool and abstraction as a method to reopen the untested experiments of Modernism and find new fields of building.
