Joyce Hsiang is an architect, urbanist and an assistant professor at Yale School of Architecture. She co-founded the research and design studio, Plan B Architecture & Urbanism, to anticipate and rehearse new relationships between humans and the earth. Her work uses architectural methods and cartographic analysis to make worlds that reveal and reflect on the ways humans have urbanized the planet and explore the possibilities of design at the planetary scale. Projects range from installations and buildings to landscapes, urban plans and global models of urbanization. Joyce has exhibited worldwide including La Biennale Architettura di Venezia (2021 & 2025), Lisbon Triennial, Istanbul Biennial, and Hong Kong Shenzhen Biennale as well as in Switzerland, Iceland, Abu Dhabi and at universities including Yale, Princeton and Arkansas. Awards include support from Yale Planetary Solutions, the AIA Latrobe Prize, the Graham Foundation, a MacDowell Fellowship, Hines Research Grant for Advanced Sustainability, MacMillan Center, the Franke Program in Science and Humanities as well as the inaugural Miller Prize from Exhibit Columbus.
