Julie Gabrielli

Julie Gabrielli’s work as a writer, architect, and professor aligns with the environmental humanities in our time of climate collapse and environmental reconciliation. She was a founding principal in 2001 of TerraLogos eco architecture and in 2013, her firm, Gabrielli Design Studio, was named Baltimore Magazine's Best Remodeling Architect. Award-winning work has included architectural design, green design consulting, climate action planning, organizational sustainability initiatives and strategic retreats, story workshops, and graphic facilitation of meetings. At MAPP, she teaches ARCH600, Integrated Design Studio; ARCH797, Thesis Proseminar; ARCH478T/678T, Ecological Design Thinking; and ARCH405, Design Studio II.

With a team of students, she produced "Building Hope," a 6 episode podcast series about the visionary work of five Master's Thesis projects. The podcast and website feature recent graduates in conversation on topics such as climate resilience, low-carbon materials, food justice, housing equity, biophilic design, community collaboration, and living environmental values as a newly-minted intern architect. 

She earned a Fiction MFA from Southern New Hampshire University in 2022. She writes the Homecoming newsletter on Substack, and her work has been published in the magazines Orion, Ecological Home Ideas, and Urbanite; and in literary journals: Dark Mountain Journal #6, #8 and #10; Dark Matter #3 and Immanence. Her essay, "Song of the Chesapeake," is included in the 2025 anthology, Dark Matter: Women Witnessing: Dreams Before Extinction.
