Gabrielle (Gabby) Coleman is a designer, urbanist, artist, and visiting assistant professor who teaches undergraduate architectural design studios and graduate seminars engaging in placemaking and spatial justice issues at the intersection of architecture and urban planning.
Her research interests include place identity, social networks, neighborhood preservation, and cultural space typologies. Before returning to the Little Apple, Gabby worked as a junior architect on learning environments for elementary and junior high schools at Hollis + Miller Architects in Kansas City, MO.
Outside of architecture and urbanism, she’s a visual artist with a loyalty to acrylic and watercolor mediums. A partial collection of her portrait series “more than a color” is on permanent display on the first and second floors of the Morris Family Multicultural Student Center at K-State.
Gabby holds a Master of Architecture degree from the College of Architecture, Planning, and Design and a Minor in Leadership Studies, both at Kansas State University. She received a Master of Science in Urban Planning with concentrations in Built Environment and Community + Economic Development from the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at Columbia University, where her graduate research centered on the intersection of place attachment and cultural displacement.
