bio
 

Marina Correia is currently based in Brooklyn, New York and works together with Fabiana Araújo (Rio) and other colleagues in international and local partnerships. 

Between 2004 and 2013 she collaborated with multiple architecture firms in the United States, Spain and Brazil, including Isay Weinfeld, SOM San Francisco, Borrell Arquitectes, Corea&Moran, Carlos Brillembourg, 1100:Architect and Simino Architects. In 2013 she founded an independent international practice, which was joined by Fabiana Araújo in 2018. Through Atelier she also worked in partnership with Oficina Sao Joao, Simino Architects, Carla Juaçaba, WAK Studio, Angelo Bucci and HF Arquitetos. 


She obtained her Bachelor's Degree in Architecture from The City University of New York in 2006, a Master in Architecture from Harvard University Graduate School of Design in 2013 and a Ph.D. in History of Architecture and Urbanism from the University of Sao Paulo in 2018. As part of her doctoral research she was a visiting scholar at Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation in 2018. She also studied at the School of Philosophy of the University of Sao Paulo (2000-03) and at the School of Architecture and Urbanism of Mackenzie University in Sao Paulo (2000). 

She taught at The Spitzer School of Architecture of the City University of New York, School of Architecture and Urbanism of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Rhode Island School of Design, Pratt Institute GAUD and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.

 

Her publications include the articles John Hejduk's Bye House: An Object in the Landscape with Stan Allen (Drawing Matter 2023), The National Museum beyond the Palace (Cultural Preservation Center Magazine of the University of Sao Paulo 2022), Lina Bo Bardi in the present: on the conception of the exhibition (Hatje Kanz 2014) and the book Urbanismo Ecológico na América Latina (co-edited with M. Mostafavi, G. Doherty, A. Duran and L. Valenzuela - Harvard GSD and GG 2019). 

Her doctoral dissertation Miniature Volume: John Hejduk and Venice explores through the work of the American architect John Hejduk the critical dimension of architecture in the late 20th century, presenting the close relationship between poetic language and the socio-political agenda of this period. Her master design thesis project Territorial Reclaim: Clearing Strategies in Rio de Janeiro investigated education and public infrastructure in the context of Complexo do Alemão's pacification. Her scientific initiation research focused on the relationship between Architecture and Music in Hegel's Lectures on Aesthetics.
