Fay Studied architecture and art in undergraduate and graduate school. In 1977, she became the first woman to win a Guild Traveling Fellowship from USC. She studied passive energy techniques in Moroccan Roman and Berber Indian vernacular architecture. She determined that she could develop practical applications of this knowledge for design application in her home climate of Southern California.
During 1991-94, while working as in-house architect for the San Fernando building (400 S. Main Street, Los Angeles), she developed proposals that culminated in an agreement between her employer, Phillip Lynch, and the Electric Power company of Los Angeles, to facilitate of the first array of roof top solar panels supported by the Power Company in an effort to protect Historic buildings from the vast building remodeling necessary to accommodate modern power requirements.
A student of color and art, Fay has sold over 50 silk and acrylic paintings and photographs to clients and the general public at single person shows. Bringing a rich art background to architectural projects, her pallet in element and color suits each circumstance. Using the dreams and desires (and budgets) of clients, an appropriate design destination is reached. While shingle, Craftsman, Santa Bararbara styles are studied and employed when desired, sometimes the work product is not any signature "style", but each work bears marks of interactive play with the client and the evolving hand of an artist.
Having taught color theory at the Design Institute of San Diego, Fay also taught Beginning Design I and Beginning Design II as well as third year Architectural Studio and a lecture/seminar class on Russian Art and Architecture at Woodbury University, Burbank, California, in 1987. The summer after teaching her first Russian art class, she organized and led a 5 week tour of the Soviet Union (1988). The premise of the travel was that Cold War Russians and Americans had more in common culturally, specifically in art and Christianity, than they had differences, The tour was a great success; there were parties with artists all across northern Russia, and the Woodbury students made drawings and documented the measurements of historic stone and wood buildings for the Woodbury’s archives.
Even before the advent of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in building codes, Fay's affinity towards the plight of disabled persons attempting to navigate the public landscape led her towards opening up designed environments to as large a public as possible.
The understanding that building and business owners need protection from repetitive lawsuit when it is not in their budget to fix all ADA issues at once led to the discovery of SB 1608 which allows properties to upgrade over time without the threat of constant lawsuits. She studied for and achieved professional designation as California CASp (Certified Accessibility Specialist program) #141 -- regarding building inspection and pre-construction plan review. A CASp report shows the good faith of a commercial business building owner or tenant to remedy ADA issues while giving them a 90 - 180 day stay against any lawsuit and other benefits. She also performs regular ADA reviews.
Fay's travels include two traveling fellowships, one from USC to Morocco, and one from Columbia University to visit and study turn of the century Moderismo architecture in Barcelona. Interest in the study of other cultures and their objects has led to further study time in Finland, England, Holland, France, Italy, Japan and China. The quest during these immersions into disparate cultures is to discover the similarities and differences between cultures as exhibited by their art and cultural objects. She created a movie, “Chinese Places in Transition” of her slides of China choreographed to Mozart music. It was shown at Columbia University, The University of Southern California and the San Diego AIA.
