Felecia Davis is an associate professor of architecture, lead researcher in the Stuckeman Center for Design and Computation, and director of SOFTLAB in the Stuckeman School. She has lectured, taught workshops, published, and exhibited her work in textiles, computation, and architecture internationally, including the Swedish School of Textiles, Microsoft Research, and the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.).
Davis's work in architecture and textiles connects art, science, engineering and design and re-imagines how we might use textiles in our daily lives and in architecture. In 2022, Davis was named a winner of the Architectural League of New York's 2022 Emerging Voices competition. She was featured by PBS in the "Women in Science Profiles" series and her work was part of the Museum of Modern Art's (MoMA) "Reconstructions: Blackness and Architecture in America" exhibition in 2021.
As a result of her inclusion in the MoMA show, Davis co-founded the Black Reconstruction Collective, a non-profit organization of Black architects, scholars and artists that supports and funds design work about the Black diaspora.
She is currently writing a book that examines the role of computational materials in our lives titled "Softbuilt: Networked Architectural Textiles."
Davis has taught architectural design for more than 10 years at Cornell University, and design studios, most recently at Princeton University, and the Cooper Union in New York.
She is principal in her own design firm, FELECIADAVISTUDIO. She has received several finalist awards for her architectural designs in open and invited design competitions such as the California Valley Central History Museum, the Queens Museum of Art Addition and the Pittsburgh Charm Bracelet Neighborhood Revitalization Competition, and the Little Haiti Housing Association in Miami.
Davis earned a Ph.D. from the Design and Computation Group in the School of Architecture and Planning at M.I.T. She received her M.Arch from Princeton University, and her B.S. in Engineering from Tufts University. While at M.I.T., she worked on a dissertation that develops computational textiles or textiles that respond to commands through computer programming, electronics, and sensors for use in architecture. These responsive textiles used in lightweight shelters will transform how we communicate, socialize, and use space.

Hong Wu joined the Department of Landscape Architecture in 2016 and currently holds the position of associate professor. She serves as the co-chair of the Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture's Geospatial and Digital Analytics Track, former co-chair of Penn State's University Water Council, director of the Penn State Stormwater Living Lab, and a core member of Stuckeman's Ecology + Design Center. Additionally, Hong is an Editorial Advisory Board Member of the Studies in the History of Gardens and Designed Landscapes journal.
Academically trained in architecture and landscape architecture, Hong's research passion lies in an important and timely set of topics across different spatial scales. As of 2023, she had led or co-led more than 25 research projects, securing over $7 million in grant funding and publishing 40 peer-reviewed articles. Her interdisciplinary research efforts were honored with an Excellence in Research and/or Creative Works award by the Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture in 2023.
At the regional and watershed scale, Hong applies computer-based models to facilitate natural resource decision-making, especially as it relates to water. Through agent-based landscape change simulation and hydrological modeling, she has investigated the effectiveness of stormwater best management practices and alternative urban development patterns for conserving stream ecosystem health in the context of urbanization and climate change. Presently, her focus lies on optimizing green stormwater infrastructure planning to maximize multiple ecosystem benefits under the deep uncertainty of climate change.
At the site scale, Hong is passionate about exploring innovative design approaches to integrating sustainability into urban landscapes. Her current focus is on investigating the environmental, social, and economic aspects of green stormwater infrastructure across different social and environmental contexts.
Hong previously practiced landscape architecture professionally as a principal of Urban People + Space Landscape Design Studio (Beijing) and a consultant for the Beijing Tsinghua Tongheng Urban Planning and Design Institute. With three international design awards, including a 2012 American Society of Landscape Architects Professional Honor Award, her previous professional work mainly dealt with the transformation of contaminated sites into environmental and social amenities, municipal-scale urban green space planning, and green stormwater infrastructure planning and design in the context of China's Sponge City Development.
