Murphy Burnham & Buttrick Architects, New York, NY 10018, Designer

MBB were commissioned to design a new library and to restore the great hall within the historic and prestige New York School, Trinity, located in the upper west side, NY.

I was brought in on this project during its initialisation and have been assisting the project manager in the project’s administration, field checks, drawing and design that has resulted in a Schematic Design set that Trinity will review for pricing and confirm the scope for the Design Development phase.

This project marks my first experience in working in a contractual project in New York, gaining a little project administration and professional experience.

Faculty of Architecture, University of Western Australia, Perth, AU, Research Assistant / Sessional Staff Tutor

After graduation from the University of Western Australia in 2016, I held a research assistant position at the UWA school of design, whist tutoring in first-year design studios, technical drawing classes and visualisation seminars.

Research areas included working on a website that was aimed to reveal the historical context in which the architectural objects and cultural landscapes of Perth city have emerged throughout time. It is hoped that the platform will be of interest to not only architects, designers, planners, researchers and students, but to anyone compelled to learn the stories of Perth's evolving city.

In addition to this project, I helped to digitally reconstruct the Great Byzantine Palace of Constantinople for Dr Nigel Westbrook's PhD. By extracting evidence from existing architectural drawings and textual descriptions, the Great Byzantine Palace of Constantinople has been redrawn and illustrated through a series of technical drawings, accompanied by a digital model.
