About Christina Bollo
Biography
Christina Bollo teaches design studios and applied theory courses focused on health and wellbeing in the built environment. Her recent research on housing for vulnerable populations has been published by Housing & Society, International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, and The Journal of Property Management. She is an expert on trauma informed design for permanent supportive housing and presents workshops on the topic to non-profit housing providers and architects throughout the U.S.
In 2020, the AIA Housing and Community Development Knowledge Community awarded funding to Christina for a study entitled, “Measuring Success,” that examines the role of varying forms of post-occupancy evaluation in the professional practice of housing design. She continued this work with an examination of best practices in San Francisco. Webinars detailing this work can be found here, on the AIA HDCKC website.
