Elena Kapompasopoulou currently, works as an Architectural Intern for the “Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation”, on Frank Gehry’s “Abu Dhabi Project”. In this position, she collaborates with both architects and curators to develop series of analytical tools to convey the unique architectural spaces to the curatorial team, to assist them in developing well informed proposals for potential art placement and exhibition design for the future museum. In addition to the internship, she is also a part-time researcher for Michael Sorkin’s “Terreform Inc”. She is a recent graduate with honors from the Architecture & Urban Design Program at Columbia University, and she is a licensed architect in the E.U since 2009.
Having previously worked in architectural offices in Greece, the Netherlands and in China, she has worked in big scale projects, as well as small local projects and she is familiar with the rhythm and needs of working as part of a design team. Through her professional and academic experience she learned to independently assess own projects. Some of the projects have been awarded, amongst others with the “Lucille Smyser Lowenfish Memorial Prize” or have won sponsorship e.g. “Sustainable Summer Sponsorship” by the Columbia University.
