Zenovia Toloudi, D.Des., is an architect, artist, scholar, and Associate Professor of Architecture in Studio Art at Dartmouth College. Situated at the intersection of art and architecture, her creative and theoretical work explores the growing disconnection between people and their environments, both natural and constructed. She examines how individualism within dominant cultural frameworks shapes spatial experience and the physical environment, contributing to the fragmentation of social relationships. Through creative interventions and critical inquiry, she seeks to restore lost connections and repair spatial fragments.
