Faculty Directory

Mireille Roddier joined the University of Michigan's T College of Architecture as the 2001 Sanders Fellow. Roddier received her Masters of Architecture degree from the University of California at Berkeley, and became a founding partner of Mitnick.Roddier.Hicks in 1995. The firm has received numerous awards including the 2004 Young Architects Forum award from the Architectural League of New York, the "Unbuilt Architecture" award from the Boston Society of Architects, and an Honorable Mention to the San Francisco AIDS Memorial Competition. Their recently constructed Split/View pavilion is on permanent exhibition on the grounds of the Philbrook Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and included in the book XS Green. Mitnick.Roddier.Hicks are among ten international firms featured in Architectural Record's 2005 Design Vanguard awards issue.

In 2000, Roddier was awarded the Gabriel Prize, which took her back to her native France where she began to explore the rural eighteenth and nineteenth century laundry houses. This research generated Lavoirs: Washhouses of Rural France (New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 2003).

In addition to design studios, Roddier teaches in the Theory + Criticism section of the curriculum.
