Shoshana Torn is a designer and artist working in the expanded field of architecture.   

Currently, she is designing and researching with MPdL Studio and serves as Senior Research Specialist for Princeton University School of Architecture. Recent projects include curating/designing The House Transformed exhibition (Princeton 2025-2026, Brooklyn 2026), multi-family housing concepts (US/MX), and investigating reproductive architectures in the U.S. (2022 - Present).

With a dedication to teaching as practice, Shoshana has co-taught and assisted graduate core, introduction to architectural design, and design thinking courses at Princeton. She was a key organizer of the Womxn in Design and Architecture conferences on Minnette De Silva (2021), June Jordan (2022), and Svetlana Kana Radević (2023).

Shoshana received a Master of Architecture from Princeton SoA in 2023 and was awarded the Suzanne Kolarik Underwood Prize for excellence in architectural design. Her M.Arch thesis, Exodus, positioned both design and the profession as active agents in the shifting landscape of a post-Roe United States.

Before reaching architecture, Shoshana worked as an independent graphic designer and holds a B.A. in art history with honors from New York University.
