Paige Davidson
Paige Davidson is a designer, educator, and co-founder of the design practice Gluten. She is currently an Assistant Professor at Virginia Tech’s School of Architecture, and has previously taught at the University of Arkansas, SCI-Arc, and UCLA.
Before co-founding her practice, Paige worked as a Senior Designer at Snarkitecture, where her projects received international recognition and became part of Cooper Hewitt’s permanent collection. During this time she led projects all over the world and exhibited at Salone del Mobile, The National Building Museum and the Chicago Navy Pier to name a few.
Her work explores the lens of mediation in architecture, how design mediates between material, digital, and cultural worlds. Her teaching focuses on bridging these analog and digital design workflows with radical experimentation.
She holds a Master of Architecture with distinction from SCI-Arc and a Bachelor of Architectural Studies from the University of Illinois
