I am a senior architect with international experience and a passion to touch the human spirit with architecture. I've worked with some of the best design and construction teams in the world and have lead the planning and design efforts of several, large public and private projects including mixed use, sports and venue, high density housing, higher education, and K-12 projects. My work emphasizes sustainability on all levels, collaborative design and process, and ideas based planning and design. I consider the research and learning process integral to the success of architecture, and pursue the adventure of architecture vigorously.
Christopher's Design Blog on Archinect:
How we feel in a space is often ignored. Let's explore the phenomena of environments and spatial qualities - color, light, texture, movement, through dialogue, stories, narratives, and examples. The goal is to discover opinions and ideas informing our perceptions and perspectives of the human experience of architecture.
