Architect and educator Katherine Darnstadt is the founder and principal of Latent Design, a collaborative of individuals whose projects focus on social, economic and environmental
impact beyond the building.
Darnstadt brings innovative design to those in resource and budget limited environments through a holistic, creative approach to design driven by community needs that leverages other partners and assets to address project challenges. Her passion for public interest design through participatory strategies and diverse background have allowed her to collaborate with change agents in design, science, arts and philosophy.
Since founding her practice in 2010, Darnstadt and her firm have been recognized as an emerging leader in the architecture profession
and have been published, exhibited and featured widely, most notably at the International
Venice Biennale, Core 77 Design Awards, Architizer A+ Awards, Chicago Ideas Week,

winner.
