Gabriella Doe

Gabriella Doe is a fifth-year student attending the University of Notre Dame pursuing a Bachelor of Architecture with a concentration in Preservation and Restoration, alongside a minor in Latino Studies. She is from Fort Worth, Texas, and takes great pride in her African American and Panamanian heritages. Gabriella is passionate about the impact of urban planning and human-centered architecture on local communities and its ability to serve as a reflection of a community’s history and cultural identity. Through her McNeill Common Good Fellowship, Gabriella has had the opportunity to pursue research pertaining to the intersection of architecture and human dignity, such as: the human-centered nature of migrant and arrival architecture in Munich, Germany, and the preservation of architectural and artistic traditions of the Emberá Parara Puru community amid increased tourism and climate change in Panamá. Gabriella also enjoys exploring the relationship of architecture and justice through her articles for the Notre Dame student-run architectural magazine, STOA. Upon completing her degree, Gabriella intends to pursue licensure and contribute to community and residential projects concentrated around creating affordable, environmentally-friendly, and culturally-conscious spaces.
