Frustrated by the gap between education and practice he experienced after graduating from Woodbury, he left traditional architecture to focus on exposing architects and their work to as wide an audience as possible, mostly through social media platforms.</p><p>I'll be on a panel covering architectural media with Gharakhanian, Benjamin Bratton and others next Wednesday, Sept. 14 at SCI-Arc, moderated by Bruno Juricic.
