About atelierjones
atelierjones’ work entwines design, research, and community engagement to create projects of urban reclamation: of sites, buildings, materials, waste, and ways of living. Founded by Susan Jones, FAIA in 2003 the firm seeks projects seek out sites and materials with inherent, but underutilized value - to harvest their embodied energy, their catalytic power for owners and communities, their beauty. Her work creates delight and wonder in leftover, dirty, forgotten places and spaces, and materials. The firm collects waste materials and collaborates with fabricators and researchers to create projects that reuse materials and create new uses in innovative and beautiful ways. atelierjones has forged this cross-disciplinary approach through embracing methodologies mined from sustainability and materials research, from historic preservation and adaptive reuse movements, real estate development as well as community activism.
The firm’s work has been recognized by numerous national, regional and local design awards, and been published nationally and internationally. Susan graduated from Harvard GSD, has taught at the University of Washington since 1991, been a visiting design studio lead and critic at numerous national universities, and is currently an Affiliate Associate Professor of Architecture in the College of the Built Environments, University of Washington. She was nominated to the AIA College of Fellows in 2010.
