She is Associate Vice Chair of the Department of Architecture at UCLA, and is Director of the undergraduate program in Architectural Studies. She teaches graduate courses in design and technology. Formerly, as co-principal of Gnuform, Ms. Roberge explored an architecture of effective atmospheres through a vitalist-materialist model of practice.

murmur continues these investigations, with a special focus on the spatial, structural and atmospheric innovation made possible by emerging digital design and manufacturing techniques. Ms. Roberge’s research focuses on the atmospheric implications of contemporary surfaces with particular interest in formal and material experimentation that engages the senses.

Prior to co-founding Gnuform, Ms. Roberge worked at Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum, Davis Brody Bond, Architecture Research Office, and Eisenman Architects. Please follow the links for more information on awards and publications.

Ms. Roberge has taught at UCLA since 2002 and has recently attended juries at Southern California Institute of Architecture (Sci-Arc), Rice University, University of California Berkeley, California College of the Arts, and the University of Southern California.
