University of Minnesota -
M.Arch '90
What was the most important thing/skill/concept you learned at the School of Architecture?
Critical thinking.
Who made the most lasting impression (most influenced you) and why?
Gunter Dittmar who taught a graduate level architecture theory and criticism class. He taught me to look at space and design from intangible angles.
What is your favorite memory from your studio days?
Friends helping me complete the model for my thesis presentation.
Please identify one (or more) memorable design project that you worked on while a student at the School of Architecture.
My thesis project, Dwelling as Part of a Larger Order.
What major forces (such as individual architects, design philosophies, rendering styles, research methods, etc.) do you remember influencing you significantly as a student?
Michael Graves, Louis Kahn, and Tadao Ando.
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.
Not sure that my education shapes how I view the world. It's my faith/religious belief that has more to do with how I invest in things that can bring positive impact to the world.
