Her publications include We Will Get There When We Cross That Bridge (Monacelli Press, 2017), [12] The Arab City: Architecture and Representation (Columbia Books on Architecture and the city, 2016), [13] 49 Cities (Inventory Press, 3rd edition, 2015), [14] and Above the Pavement, the Farm!

Andraos was named one of the "25 Most Admired Educators for 2016" by DesignIntelligence, which describes her as integrating "real world problems into the curriculum with a bold vision and strong leadership." [16] Furthermore, she recently served as an Advisor on Columbia University’s Climate Initiatives and for the newly-launched Climate School. Andraos is recognized as a thought leader, contributing widely to the field through her lectures and writings. [17] [18] [19]

Andraos founded WORKac with her husband Dan Wood in 2003. [20] The practice is based in New York City, with projects in the U.S. and abroad.

[21] [22] [23] Andraos describes her firms work as an "intersection of the urban, the rural, and the natural." [24]

Before co-founding WORKac, Andraos held positions at Rem Koolhaas/OMA in Rotterdam and New York, Saucier + Perrotte in Montreal and Atelier Big City also in Montreal. [25]

As of October 2015, Andraos serves as a board member for the Architectural League of New York and the AUB Faculty of Engineering and Architecture International Advisory Committee. She is also on the New Museum’s New INC. Advisory Council. [26]
