Marilia Rodrigues believes that great buildings reflect strong working relationships.

She leads large teams of diverse stakeholders on award-winning projects with clear communication and proactive management. Marilia has a keen eye for creative solutions to design problems, resulting in projects that are as memorable as they are functional. She has applied her technical knowledge to create buildings that push the field of architecture forward, from modular assembly homes on sensitive sites to pavilions of self-supporting glass in the heart of the city.  
 
For over 20 years, Marilia has led major arts, academic, and civic projects including Dilworth Park, a four-acre park and transit hub at Philadelphia's City Hall, the Edgar N. Putman Event Pavilion at the James A. Michener Art Museum, and the Master Plan for the Central Delaware Waterfront in Philadelphia. Marilia has also led projects on some of the nation's most treasured campuses, including Cornell University, Wellesley College, and Yale University. She was Principal-in-Charge of the East End Transformation, a vibrant and inviting gateway to Washington University in St. Louis. This major new campus landscape features LEED Platinum buildings, including an addition to the art and architecture school, an expansion of the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, two new multiuse buildings, and an underground parking facility. Marilia is currently the Principal-in-Charge on the Heller Development at UC Santa Cruz and the Sackett Building Renovation and Addition at Penn State.  
 
Marilia has taught architecture at Philadelphia University and participated in lectures and juries at the University of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania State University, and the Catholic University of America. Her writing has been featured in the AIA Architectural Graphic Standards, 11th Edition and the National Institute of Building Sciences's Journal of Building Information Modeling.
