Powers
Adjunct Faculty

Emma Powers is a Design Professional at PLY+ Architecture working on a range of community-based projects. Her personal research is centered on the role of the Architect in the anthropogenic era, implementing climate-adaptive strategies at scale, and building design narratives to convey foreseen (or unforeseen) futures. Much of her work utilizes organizational methodologies, such as Actor-network theory and systems-based design thinking, to unpack the complex phenomena shaping our built environment.

Her graduate thesis, Lichen Bio Futures, depicts a speculation across a future timeline driven by the urgency of climate change. The design illustrates an architectural evolution from machinic and technological dependencies, to fully self-sustaining, biomaterial systems. Her project received two thesis award mentions, including Sensibility for Critical Matters, and was featured in Dimensions Journal Issue 37. Emma earned her Master of Architecture from the University of Michigan and her Bachelor of Science in Architecture from The Ohio State University.
