Kendra Reid (b. 1992, Melbourne/Naarm, Australia) is a Finnish-Australian architect, whose work bridges spatial practice, research, and interdisciplinary art. Her projects span inter-generational co-housing, inclusive urban strategies, and participatory installations developed through architectural practice, academic teaching, and residencies. Kendra holds a Master of Arts in Architecture (2019) from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. She has worked across Northern Europe, West Africa, and Australia, and recently designed and led a Master of Architecture studio at Monash University in Melbourne/Naarm on intergenerational living and co-housing, with emphasis on participatory methods and critical evaluation of housing models. Grounded in social engagement and material experimentation, her work positions architecture and art as tools for connection, cultural memory, and transformation.
