Barbara Macaulay studied fine arts at the University of Michigan and graduated with a BFA in Architecture from The Rhode Island School of Design. Her work has focused on the intersection of architecture, art, and the city: the poetics of space, the sculptural qualities of light, and architecture and landscape as a narrative form. Barbara has won numerous grants and awards for her architectural work and large scale lighting installations, including Steel and Light at the Hurricane Barrier and Buildings in Ruins/Buildings Transformed for the Providence Preservation Society. She has taught architecture, interior architecture, and drawing studios at Jefferson University, Moore College of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, and Roger Williams University. Drawing and sketching continue to be an integral part of her design process.
