Michael Chin is a recent graduate of Woodbury University School of Architecture with a Bachelor's degree in Architecture. In His thesis and latter years of study  he examined dispersed architectural strategies and collections. These areas of investigation ranged from prototype museums for Las Vegas to institutional justice within New York City. He continues to investigate how architecture might proliferate as cohesive ecosystems and how strategies of domestication and cuteness may be used overcome the alienation of institutional architecture. Projects investigating spatial ecosystems garnered a number of awards including: Consumer Metabolism ACSA Steel Competition Honorable Mention, Iconic Inclusion AIA Los Angeles Citation Award, and Pet Proliferation WUSOA Degree Project Award. His final year at university was spent on an unpublished 365 page research book, Rikers Island Research Manual, which investigated the history and future of Rikers Island and the jail systems of New York City. He has worked in award winning offices in Los Angeles and San Francisco such as: Edward Ogosta Architecture, Min | Day, and Craig Steely Architecture.
