I am Benjamin Sather, a student from New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) graduating in the class of 2020 with a Bachelor of Architecture degree.
Creating and developing architectural, interior, fabrication and conceptional projects is my passion. I feel engaged at all scales and my work displays my range of abilities from woodworking to computational technology. My aesthetic is constantly developing, but always working towards the goal of thoughtful design.
