I can sew, make elaborate physical models, draw (especially people), design HVAC systems, digitally model almost anything (in almost any software), draft with AutoCAD and Microstation, render with V-Ray, and make things beautiful with Adobe Creative Suite.
I recently completed my Master of Architecture at the University of Toronto. I have a degree and three years’ work experience in mechanical engineering, and last year I spent six months in Berlin interning at Sauerbruch Hutton Architects.
My MArch thesis centred on (fictive) explorations into experimental housing done by the bored housewives of physicists and other technical staff working at Site Y (Los Alamos, NM) of the Manhattan Project.
