Bio
Amy Suzuki (b.1998) is an artist and designer hailing from the sunny sprawl of Los Angeles, California. Her career in architecture has been shaped by a profound focus on housing, exploring how the built environment intersects with land and socio-economic structures and how architecture can influence and reflect broader societal and climatic inequalities. She is currently a graduate student at Columbia University’s GSAPP, where she is researching art and architecture as it intersects with materials, land, energy, and climate. She is interested in sedimentation, atmospheric rivers, spatial and climate justice, breakfast foods, and little white dogs.
Her practice investigates the entangled relationships through installations that incorporate maps, drawings, material explorations, and photography. Her current research examines landscapes formed through the accumulation of materials—natural and synthetic, living and nonliving—focusing on landforming grass ecologies that operate as liminal zones between land, water, and air. She is particularly interested in emergent landforms shaped by hydrological, biological, meteorological, and geological forces. Through processes of sedimentation, erosion, and human intervention, she explores the temporal, spatial, and material conditions that define these terrains. These shifting landscapes reflect not only natural processes but the legacy of human impact and the potential for ecological resilience in a world increasingly defined by material flows.
