—PERSONALITY & FUN—
•What do you enjoy most about architecture/design?
“Since being at REB, I really like being on the job site, seeing the construction first hand. As for architecture, I appreciate architecture that provides function over form. But I understand that the real trick to creative architecture is having a form that can provide a function.”
•Fun fact:
“I am an Eagle Scout. Hobbies: I enjoy playing video games and gardening/yard work. Home renovation projects from time to time.”
•Favorite design style or architectural inspiration:
“Zaha Hadid: She just seemed to be an outlier to me, and I liked and appreciated it. She was able to literally bend architecture to her will and make it exactly how she envisioned it.
Jørn Oberg: I watched a short video about the Sydney Opera house and did not realize how many functions the design of the building provided.”
•If you weren’t in architecture, what career would you have chosen?
“Computer programming or video game development/design. “
