Faculty, School of Architecture
Hüma is an architectural designer and urban planner based in San Francisco, CA. She received her Master of Architecture degree from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, where she was awarded the Department of Architecture Faculty Design Award. Before that, she received a dual degree Bachelor of Architecture and of Urban and Regional Planning at Istanbul Technical University. For both degrees, she received the Faculty Prize for two separate theses. She has practiced in architecture and design offices in San Francisco, Boston, New York and Istanbul.
Together with Adrian Harrison, she is engaged in design processes with RRO, a studio for architecture based in San Francisco, which places emphasis on change as an essential value of architecture. RRO embraces architecture as a process of becoming rather than static being, committed to the maxim that “building is a verb.”
