Carina Rose is an architect, ecologist and interdisciplinary artist based in Montreal, Canada. She received degrees in Architecture and Environmental Studies from the University of Waterloo, and prior to these studies, trained as a professional dancer.  Carina is a hands-on maker and researcher collaborating with self-builders and grassroots communities seeking ecological building alternatives and thoughtful engagement in the creative process.

She also consults in a variety of settings, including fabrication workshops and popular education programs. Her artwork intersects this building experience with her movement practices to create installation and performance that investigates our role as mediators between the fabricated and natural. She is currently researching how improvisational movement and somatic knowledge can connect our body creatively to social, built and natural ecosystems, and reform design processes.
