SCHAUM/SHIEH is a small architectural collaboration operating between Houston, TX and New York City. Rosalyne Shieh and Troy Schaum established SCHAUM/SHIEH in 2010 around overlapping interests in art, form, and the city, and have developed a dialogue through projects ranging from buildings and installations to speculative projects and unsolicited urban plans. The practice has a particular interest in the city at the scale of the building, both as a site of theoretical experimentation and as a reality that may be transformed through building. They work at a range of scales, with completed projects in Detroit, New York, Houston, and Virginia. Recent and ongoing work includes a masterplan for the Judd Foundation and a restoration of the Chamberlain Building for the Chinati Foundation, both in Marfa, Texas, the headquarters for an arts institution in Houston, and proposals for a residential tower on Park Avenue in New York City. SCHAUM/SHIEH was named a 2019 Emerging Voices winner by The Architectural League of New York, a finalist in the 2017 MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program and named one of the 2016 New Practices New York by the AIA. Their work has been exhibited at the Venice Biennale, Art Prize in Grand Rapids, the Storefront for Art and Architecture, and the Center for Architecture in New York. Schaum is an Associate Professor at Rice School of Architecture and Shieh teaches at MIT, where she is the Marion Mahony Fellow in Architecture.
Rosalyne Shieh is an architect, educator and partner at SCHAUM/SHIEH, a small architectural collaboration operating between Houston, TX and New York City. She teaches at MIT, where she is the Marion Mahony Emerging Practitioner Fellow. Her research interests include the relationship between urbanism and sociality; she is currently working on a project about place at the intersection of material culture, oral history, and postcolonial identity in Taiwan.

Rosalyne is a MacDowell Fellow, recipient of the AIA Henry Adams Certificate, and holds degrees from Berkeley, the Bartlett, and Princeton.

Troy Schaum is a partner in SCHAUM/SHIEH. He is also the Director of Totalization at the Rice School of Architecture, where he is an Associate Professor.
