Hannah Vaughn, AIA, NCARB, Salt Lake City, UT

Hannah Vaughn is an architect and educator based in Salt Lake City, Utah. In collaboration with Scott Yribar, she is co-founder of VY Architecture, with offices in Utah and Idaho. Hannah’s practice is centered around the convergence of art as material/memory and architecture as craft/history. This connection of material and place are expanded with VY Architecture’s mission to generate architecture that is both pragmatic and poetic: high-performance, sustainable buildings that are responsible to the community and the future; buildings that silently frame meaningful human experience and have a positive impact from beginning to end.
Hannah teaches design studio as adjunct faculty at the University of Utah School of Architecture and regularly serves on design juries. She has served on the Board of Directors for the Utah AIA, and currently sits on the Board of Trustees for the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (UMOCA). Her work ranges from installations and pavilions to larger institutional projects.
