Marie Stargala

Marie Stargala is an Architect and Critic at Yale School of Architecture. She is principal of Twenty Three Calvin, a design practice based in Brooklyn, New York, focused on the production of buildings, interiors, and landscapes. The studio’s work is motivated by an exploration of aesthetics, informed by its elemental approach to methodology, ethics, and subjective experience. Her work positions buildings and landscapes as generative sites, co-created through the entanglement of ecological, material, and human forces. Recent projects include eight units of affordable housing in Connecticut, the adaptive reuse of a former paper mill into an artist residency and gallery in Massachusetts, an office renovation for a non-profit in Harlem, a pocket park in Tribeca, and various residential projects along the East Coast. Prior to Twenty Three Calvin, Marie practiced in Basel, Switzerland at Herzog & de Meuron.

Marie holds a Master in Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and studied at Art Center College of Design and Tama Art University in Tokyo, where she received a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Design. She is a Registered Architect and member of the American Institute of Architects.
