Sandra McKee

Sandra McKee is an architect and partner at Yoshihara McKee Architects, established in 1996 with offices in New York and Tokyo. Previously, she was a project director at Rafael Viñoly Architects, where she worked on the Tokyo International Forum. In her current practice, projects range in type and size from small residential works to large scale urban interventions, all with innovative uses of under-utilized materials. Sandra is also an adjunct professor at Fordham University and Columbia University, and a visiting critic at architectural and interior design schools including Pratt Institute, and City Tech. In her conversation with Julia Molina, Sandra talks about navigating difficult situations, starting a firm, and teaching, advising young architects to try different things and to not be afraid to move on.
