Biography/History
Edith Cherry received her bachelor's and master's degrees in Architecture from Rice University in Houston. In 1965, she worked for Caudill Rowlett Scott (CRS) in Houston as an intern under William Pena, renowned for his architectural programming expertise. She received her architectural license in 1968, and the same year, she became CRS's first female associate.
In 1972, Cherry moved to New Mexico to teach at the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of New Mexico. She served as Acting Dean in 1974-75; Assistant Dean, 1976-83; Director of Architecture, 1993-96; Associate Professor of Architecture, 1996-2000. She retired from the University of New Mexico in 2000. While teaching at UNM, she also did graduate work in cultural anthropology, thus informing her knowledge of architectural programming.
In 1994, Edith Cherry was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), a very distinguished title in the field of architecture. In 1998, she published the internationally applauded book Programming for Design: From Theory to Practice (John Wiley & Sons, New York, NY, 1998). Currently, Cherry is a partner in the firm, Cherry See Architects in Albuquerque. Her firm has been in operation since 1977 and has done numerous projects including the restoration of the Pueblo-revival style Old Albuquerque Municipal Airport
