A faculty member at the University of Maryland, School of Architecture, Planning, & Preservation, Ronit Eisenbach is an architect whose creative and scholarly efforts are located at the intersection of art and architecture. Through the construction of temporary site-specific environments she explores how the perception of subjective, invisible and ephemeral objects affects understanding and experience of place. An interest in thinking through making and refining perception has led her to teach a series of situation-based, design-build studios that frame elements of architecture such as light, color, space, and shadow.
Her installations and maps have been exhibited both here and abroad in venues such as the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Graham Foundation, the Cranbrook Art Museum, the Art Gallery of Windsor, Princeton University and the streets of Tel Aviv Current projects include a co-authored book, Installations by Architects (with Dr. Sarah Bonnemaison); and the design of new skylights and light-modifying infrastructure for the University of Maryland's School of Architecture, Planning, & Preservation.
