Jacqueline Danielyan received her Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Architecture and Furniture Design from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2025, she graduated from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, with a dual Master of Architecture and Master of Science in Historic Preservation. 

Jacqueline’s graduate work allowed her to merge architectural design with historical research, focusing on cultural heritage preservation, adaptive reuse, digital mapping, and community-oriented design. Her thesis explored fragmental preservation, examining the complexities of protecting cultural heritage when its tangible foundations are no longer present. 

During her graduate studies, Jacqueline gained hands-on experience in preservation, interning as a Monument Conservation Technician with the Central Park Conservancy, where she conserved bronze and stone monuments and created 3D models of the unbuilt ornaments of the Bethesda Fountain. She then interned at Architectural Preservation Studio for two consecutive summers, gaining extensive knowledge in facade inspections, building technology and materiality, and architectural drafting. She now continues to work full-time at Architectural Preservation Studio as a Junior Project Associate.
