About Christina Bollo
Biography
Christina Bollo teaches design and applied theory courses focused on health and wellbeing in the built environment. Her research investigates the role of housing policy in shaping housing design, and the role of housing design in the health and wellbeing of residents.

In 2020, Christina was awarded funding from the AIA Housing and Community Development Knowledge Community for a study entitled, “Measuring Success,” that examines the role of varying forms of post-occupancy evaluation in the professional practice of housing design. Christina has presented peer-reviewed papers at the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) and the Architectural Research Center Consortium (ARCC) conferences on her current research, which focuses on the design of Permanent Supportive Housing in the United States and Canada. She is an at-large board member of ARCC.
