Stephanie Davidson serves as Assistant Professor at Toronto Metropolitan University and co-founded the architectural research-practice DAVIDSON RAFAILIDIS. She is scheduled for a spring 2023 Visiting Professorship at Ioannina's CRISIS Research Lab.
Her educational foundation includes:
- Bachelor of Fine Arts with distinction from Mount Allison University
- Architecture studies at Dalhousie University
- Architecture studies at London's Architectural Association School
Davidson's research examines the dynamic tension between architectural design intent and the organic evolution of built environments. Her work champions affordable architecture through shoestring-budget projects that function as 'case studies in space for all,' producing documentary evidence of how spaces transform through use. This practice-driven approach bridges theoretical design processes with real-world constraints.
Her notable 2017 publication established foundational methodologies for architectural education through practical design workbook exercises.
Professional recognition includes:
- Emerging Voices Award from the Architectural League of New York (2018)
As an active Assistant Professor, Davidson integrates her firm's research into academic mentorship while maintaining international collaborations. Her practice functions as a living laboratory where built projects generate critical insights into spatial evolution.
DAVIDSON RAFAILIDIS operates as her primary research vehicle, merging design practice with scholarly investigation through documentary studies and budget-constrained interventions that challenge conventional architectural paradigms.
