Alejandra Rojas is an artist, designer, architect, and educator based in New York City. She is a Peruvian immigrant who grew up in an artistic environment. She pursued a career in architecture at the University of Waterloo in Canada. Later, she completed a Master’s in Architecture and Urbanism at the Architectural Association in London, where she specialized in computational design and fabrication. Her studies allowed her to travel to multiple cities for work and study, including Toronto, NYC, Rome, and London. She started working with clay as a creative outlet but decided to bring what she had learned and loved from architecture and establish her studio.
For the past few years, she has developed her research for patterns and unusual forms and transformed them into sculptural clay objects. In parallel, she has taught in multiple universities, design studios, computational design and fabrication, visualization, and advanced modeling workshops. She is currently an adjunct faculty at the New School. Alejandra’s work has been showcased at several international exhibitions. Most recently, she presented her work at Milan Design Week 2024 as part of the Isola Design Exhibition: This Future is currently unavailable.
She has also participated at the London Festival of Architecture as part of the Architect-Maker Pop-up at Cuemars and 1000 vases for the 1000 VASES Paris exhibition during Paris Art Week. She has showcased her work in the US at multiple trade shows, including Wanted Design for ICFF NYC, Shoppe Object NYC, and NYNOW. Her work has been acquired by Alexis Bittar Stores and The Jewish Museum Store, among others.
