Wendy Redfield is an Assistant Professor of Architecture at NC State University, where she has taught since 1998. She is also a partner in the firm Clark and Redfield Architects in Charlottesville, Va. Before coming to the College of design, she taught at the University of Virginia in the departments of architecture and landscape architecture. She has lectured or served as an invited critic on design reviews at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Maryland, University of Florida, Hampton College, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, University of Arkansas and University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

In 1990, she received her Master of Architecture degree from the University of Virginia after completing her undergraduate work at Barnard College, Columbia University. While a graduate student, Redfield edited Modulus 20: Stewardship of the Land. Published in 1991 by Princeton Architectural Press, this journal featured articles by W.G. Clark, J.B. Jackson, and Leo Marx, among others. Her interest in architecture's relationship to the land through settlement and to the elemental forces of nature evident in the intent and formulation of Modulus 20, have characterized her teaching and creative work in the intervening years.

In 1997, she received an honorable mention in the AIA Education Honor Awards Program, for "An Introduction to Design: Perception and Abstraction," with Maurice Cox. Work generated in this studio course taught at the University of Virginia introduced students to architectural design by first exposing them to a way of understanding the landscapes and cities which buildings occupy. It has been exhibited, published, and presented through lectures in numerous venues here and abroad.

Her creative work, pursued through both design and writing, has been characterized by exploring architecture as a related and grounded art. Redfield has delivered papers at conferences nationally and internationally, and has mounted exhibits on the subject of site representation and analysis. She is currently engaged in funded research on the siting of Le Corbusier's early work, and on two private commisions in her practice.
