Master of Architecture II, Harvard Graduate School of Design; Architect, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador
Dennis Sola is an Ecuadorian architect, designer, and educator working independently across research, design, construction, and pedagogy. He is a registered architect in Ecuador and co-founder of Ídem, a Quito-based practice that developed residential, infrastructural, and cultural projects across the mountains and rainforests of Ecuador. The office’s work has been featured internationally and exhibited, engaging commissions from both public institutions and private clients.
Sola currently teaches at Syracuse University School of Architecture, where he is the 2026–27 Harry der Boghosian Fellow and is developing a year-long research agenda centered on time, finitude, maintenance, and the afterlives of architecture.
Across built work, teaching, and methods of making, Sola is interested in how architecture enters duration, persists through transformation, and acquires meaning through use, alteration, and withdrawal. His design work approaches buildings and objects as open constructs shaped by reference, translation, proximity, and material transformation. His current research approaches territories through tendencies, treating logistics, construction protocols, material duration, climate, and environmental exposure as forces that shape architectural form.
Sola holds a Master of Architecture II from the Harvard Graduate School of Design and an architecture degree from the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador
