Rosalyne Shieh

Rosalyne Shieh is an architect based in Cambridge, MA and Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and assistant professor of architecture at MIT. Rosalyne’s work engages place at the intersection of material culture, oral history, and postcolonial identity; architectural projects are processes for thinking-with-site, and design is the extension and invention from the ordinary. Shieh has worked for Stan Allen Architect, ARO, and Abalos&Herreros, and was formerly co-director of the collaborative practice Schaum/Shieh. She is co-author of Blanking: An Annotated Archive of Projects and Thoughts on Architecture (Park Books, 2025). Previously, Rosalyne taught at the Yale School of Architecture, The Cooper Union, and the University of Michigan, where she was the 2009-2010 Taubman Fellow in Architecture. She is a MacDowell Fellow, a recipient of the AIA Henry Adams Certificate, and a Fulbright Scholar. Shieh’s work has been exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale, the Storefront for Art and Architecture, the Center For Architecture, and the Museum of Modern Art.
