Melis holds an MA in History and Critical Thinking (HCT) from the Architectural Association and received her Bachelor of Architecture (2017) and Bachelor of Arts in Architecture (2015) degrees from Rice University. Her research is situated at the intersection of environmental justice, material ethics, and feminist sensibilities and her MA dissertation explored the dynamic material-histories of concrete through the frameworks of “hydropower relations” and “fluvial feminisms.” Melis is also interested in the active and relational modes of writing architecture histories.

Please get in touch for collaborations, commissions, or just to chat—as well as any other inquiries, including a detailed portfolio and CV. I am currently taking on new editorial and writing work.
