Lee Patola

Hailing from Vancouver, Canada, much of Lee Patola’s work has focused on sea level rise, storytelling, and speculative futures. While previously working in the art departments of film and television shows post-undergrad, Lee found herself drawn to the sensory and humanist possibilities of architecture, and the real-world buildings beyond the eye of the camera. She is particularly interested in renovation and adaptive reuse as environmentally-conscious ways to maintain design heritage while adjusting for future conditions.

Lee holds Master degrees in Architecture and Landscape Architecture from the University of British Columbia (UBC), as well as a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Production, also from UBC.
