GINNA CLAIRE NGUYEN

Associate Principal Relativity Architects

At work, Ginna Claire Nguyen leads Relativity Architects’ pro-bono services. The first of these projects was designing improvements for a boarding school in rural Nigeria. Relativity also became active in fund-raising for the project. The first phase – an 80-bed girls’ dormitory – is complete. Nguyen also oversaw the design of an Administrative Learning Center & Library for the school. Further, Nguyen and Relativity provided complimentary design services for the historic Shoseian Japanese Teahouse in Glendale’s Brand Park.

Nguyen is also integral to a grassroots movement devoted to building an equestrian center in Compton. The Connecting Compton initiative proposes re-purposing an 18-acre former landfill. The project will serve the community with services such as horse therapy, a youth rodeo team, after-school educational programs, and a public plaza for hosting community events such as street food vendors and farmers’ markets.
