Like many before him, H James Lucas fell in love with New York and moved to the state in 2005 and the city in 2010. While upstate he earned a Masters in Architecture from Syracuse University, where he was recognized for significant contributions to the program. While commanding the usual skills of a young architect, he has particular expertise in digital modeling and imagery, utilizing Rhino, V-ray, and a large range of the Adobe Creative Suite. Despite moving away from Syracuse, he plays an active role in the School by continuing as editor for Graduate Sessions, a series of interviews and symposia with some of the most progressive practitioners and theoreticians working in architecture. Mr Lucas has enjoyed working with Anthony Vidler, Neil Denari, Preston Scott Cohen, and Syracuse's own Mark Linder among others.
