Carrie Gammell hails from the complex, odd, beautiful, humorous, disjointed, livable, and modern city of Houston, Texas. She lives in Los Angeles, California.
Carrie is a designer, researcher, and educator, currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Architecture at the University of California, Los Angeles. She works as a Senior Research Associate at cityLAB UCLA and as a Teaching Fellow at USC, SCI-Arc, and UCLA. She holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Rice University and a Master in Design Studies (Critical Conservation) from the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
Carrie’s research engages the intersection of architectural history, property law, and political economy, with a particular focus on claims, investments, and intermediary organizations in the United States, from the Homestead Act of 1862 to the Housing Act of 1934.
In her free time, she is probably exploring a new neighborhood (by foot or bike), cooking something she bought at the Larchmont farmers’ market (while snacking on a baguette), or playing her acoustic guitar (but absolutely, positively, never singing).
