Her drawing and design projects have received AIA St. Louis Awards (2009) and her project Big-Box Revival recently won first place in the competition, The Building, Problem or Solution? (2010). Portions of her project Roman Operating System, conducted with Rem Koolhaas and the Harvard Project on the City, were included in the Mutations show focusing on emerging models of urbanism at the Arc en Reve Centre d’Architecture in Bordeaux, France, and published in Mutations (Actar, 2001) and in Content (Taschen, 2004).
Heyda's professional experiences include several years working for the Pritzker Prize-winning firm Architectures Jean Nouvel in Paris and for Atelier 8000 in Prague.
