Victoria Via
Architect / Associate / Technology Lead (she/her)
Victoria Via, AIA, NCARB, is an architect licensed in New York State and Oregon. Everything she does, she does with intention, thoughtfulness, and flawless execution. She listens with curiosity, understands with empathy, and delivers with delight - her positive energy and kindness bring an unmistakable warm glow to FORA and we feel extraordinarily fortunate to have her on our team. Before FORA, Victoria worked on west coast residential projects with EVIA Studio, and prior to that, for architectural firms in NYC and DC, primarily on high-end residential projects.
Victoria is passionate about the use of innovative technologies in architecture and has experience coordinating and modeling complex building systems. She helps lead the team in BIM, and helps keep us on the leading wave of the cutting edge.
From her dependability and consistency in both work and presence, you’d never know that Victoria was on the road full-time, traveling in an RV with her husband Jeremiah during her first year! She is an enthusiastic rock climber and spends her free time climbing, traveling, and exploring nature. But after a couple of years of exploring the country together, Victoria and Jeremiah have settled into a beautiful new home in Portland, Oregon, where they enjoy soaking up all the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
“The freedom to make and remake our cities and ourselves is one of the most precious yet most neglected of our human rights.”
