Christine Khouri Sader is an Architectural Designer and Emerging Scholar in Design in South Florida.
She holds a Master of Science in Design specializing in Robotics and Autonomous Systems from the University of Pennsylvania and a Professional NAAB accredited Bachelor in Architecture from Florida Atlantic University, where she received the Honorary title of Cum Laude for academic achievements and also achieved the Selected Thesis award by the Faculty for Design Excellence. She is working as an Architectural Associate at Garcia Stromberg Studios, and has previously worked as a Robotics lab Operator in the Advanced and Research Innovation lab where she was also involved in the Autonomous Manufacturing lab as a Faculty Research Assistant. Christine’s designs and aspirations consistently thrive on curiosity of socio-spatial and topology relationships and interconnections in the juxtaposition of history and emerging technology and it's interaction with architecture, construction, fabrication and nature. She is motivated by analysis and experiments of creative tools that push the boundaries of space activation, design and fabrication.
She continuously aspires to create a narrative and inspire a state of nostalgia through her interdisciplinary work, by integrating and highlighting the experiences that highlight relationships between natural life, human life, spiritual life and artificial life.

Professionally, Christine was involved in multiple field related organizations and has gained architectural experience in projects ranging from Schematic stage to construction stage. Her experience in Garcia Stromberg Studios involved her working on the Boca Raton resort and Club, Alina Residences, West Bay Estero and Glass house through stages that varied from design development to her being the construction administrator. She also was involved in conceptual stages in the international competition project known as “The Hub” in Oppenheim Architecture and Design, LLC.
As a student, due to her curiosity and desire to learn, Christine was always involved in competitions, organizations and volunteer projects. She placed in several international competitions ranging from open design competitions to local competitions with UNIXYZ, ArchLeague, Architizer, HKS South-East Design Fellowship and the AIA FTL chapter awards in South Florida.
