Martha Foss

Job Titles:
  • Principal
  • Reviewer
Martha Foss, AIA, earned an undergraduate degree in Architecture from the University of Virginia and a Master in Architecture from the Yale University School of Architecture. She has been with Maryann Thompson Architects for over eleven years. Martha's design interests are driven by architecture's relationship to direct human experience, and the belief that architecture has the potential to serve as a mediator between us and our surroundings-locating us within the world and meaningfully constructing our relationship to it. Architecture is thought of as a system of dynamic interactions and interrelations, through which it has the potential to construct meaning and operate within the realm of the poetic. Martha has been an invited reviewer at numerous schools across the country. She has taught design studios at Syracuse University School of Architecture-including its Florence, Italy program-Wentworth Institute of Technology and Northeastern University School of Architecture.
