Brice M. Schiano is a designer in Los Angeles, California. He graduated with his Master of Architecture at the University of Southern California, where he received an award for M.Arch Outstanding Directed Research (2022). Before USC, he studied Architecture and received a Bachelor of Design in Architecture from the University of Florida, graduating Summa Cum Laude.
He has helped design Architrave 25 & 26, an annual student publication featuring undergraduate student work from the University of Florida School of Architecture. In addition, he has also had several works featured in Architrave 25, 26, & 28. During his time at the University of Florida, he produced two short texts, Adding Value to our Physical Urban Spaces, and Satchels Pizza Playscape, which feature some of his research, work, and evaluation of Architecture and the built environment.
He has participated in a number of design competitions, most notably his team finishing as finalists, among over 150 submissions in CBDX: Cities for All, an International Design Competition in Winter 2020. His interest focuses on representational and visualization skills, composing compelling narratives of spaces, interrogating how users interact and engage in them, as well as questioning the role of representation in current architectural practice.
