Sheila Kennedy, AIA, is a principal of Boston-based Kennedy & Violich Architecture Ltd. (KVA) and a professor of the practice of architecture at MIT.
Sheila has a background in history, philosophy, and literature in the College of Letters program at Wesleyan University in Connecticut. She went to Paris to improve her French language abilities, because learning a second language was a prerequisite for the College of Letters program. She ended up spending five years in Paris, where she completed the first professional cycle of the public university the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts in Architecture. Then she went to the Graduate School of Design (GSD) at Harvard University. Ms. Kennedy directed the MArch II Design Program at the GSD from 1990-1995.
Founded in 1988 by Principals Sheila Kennedy and Frano Violich, Kennedy & Violich Architecture is a professional practice that explores new possibilities for architecture and urbanism in the contemporary public realm.
