Thomas Delahouliere

Thomas is an architectural designer at Machado Silvetti, where he has been working on various United States embassy projects for the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations, from early planning to design development. His broad interests include rational structures, daylighting, and computational design, with a particular affinity for residential and museum architecture.

Thomas recently graduated from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, where his thesis proposed constructing a museum on France’s overseas territories pre-revolution, investigating ways in which architecture can give presence to underrepresented and suppressed histories, from trading posts in India to plantation economies in the Caribbean.

This project signals a broader interest in cultural spaces that are emotionally charged and loaded with conflicting associations. Thomas continues to explore ways to design architecture that can function as both a container for culture and an object in its own right—facilitating learning and dialogue while embodying its own cultural mission.
