What was the most important thing/skill/concept you learned at the School of Architecture?
Designing with sketch models, the idea of process, deriving a whole design based on environmental considerations, tectonics, and respect of the user.
Who made the most lasting impression (most influenced you) and why?
Not necessarily a single person, but I can say the whole idea of balance between design professionals teaching and the full-time professors.
What is your favorite memory from your studio days?
Every studio was a big mess with clipboards and papers everywhere. I personally enjoyed doing sketches.
Please identify one (or more) memorable design project that you worked on while a student at the School of Architecture.
- GDS 1 MN landscape Alboretum: Pavilions
- GDS 2 Urban Transformation at St. Paul Riverfront
- GDS 3 Collin Row memorial design of an Urban Theatre
- My Graduate Architecture Thesis
What major forces (such as individual architects, design philosophies, rendering styles, research methods, etc.) do you remember influencing you significantly as a student?
How to link the past with the future and "The Necessity for Ruins" written by J.B. Jackson.
Cite an example (be specific) that illustrates how you used the education you received at the School of Architecture to positively impact (or better) your community, city, nation or the world.
The City of Allatini urban design project in '06-'07. Thessaloniki was a mediation between history and the present, not simply a work of restoring, but an approach of bringing the past into a dialogue with the present and the future. A long-lasting struggle in my career ever since my thesis in the School of Architecture.
