Jana VanderGoot, AFAAR, RA

Jana VanderGoot is a registered architect who works at the intersection of architecture, landscape, and resilient urbanism. Her work focuses on the ways that buildings act as extensions of urban ecological networks, specifically where this applies to vegetated landscapes and the problem of pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

VanderGoot is Principal Investigator (PI) on several funded projects, including a National Science Foundation Grant called "Paper Streets" and a 2024 USDA Forest Service Wood Innovation Grant. VanderGoot was the recipient of the Rieger Graham Prize, ICAA affiliated fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. More about these projects can be found on her project websites:

VanderGoot's book Architecture and the Forest Aesthetic: A New Look at Design and Resilient Urbanism was published by Routledge in 2018.
