Who made the most lasting impression (most influenced you) and why?
The friends I made in studio. Going through those long nights, deadlines, and stress together makes for lasting friendships, including a future firm partner!
What is your favorite memory from your studio days?
The buzz of, hopefully, controlled chaos before a review.
Please identify one (or more) memorable design project that you worked on while a student at the School of Architecture.
Mark Wentzell's 4th year studio, the Bakery Project on Franklin Avenue. It focused on interaction and conflict between public and private, business and consumer, and void and mass. It was the start of my interest in community based projects.
What major forces (such as individual architects, design philosophies, rendering styles, research methods, etc.) do you remember influencing you significantly as a student?
Mark Wentzell had a big focus on the qualities of light and the emotions that can be derived from it, how to shape light and manipulate it if needed, and how that would impact a space. Tadao Ando, Steven Holl, and Frank Lloyd Wright influenced me as well.
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.
While working on a mission trip in Mexico I used theories taught in our Landscape Architecture classes to create a rain garden for a group of homes we were building.
