Hello, my name is Matt Hamilton, attached please nd my resume and work samples for consideration as an Architectural Designer. As a design professional I specialise in Architecture, Urban Design, Built-Environments, aesthetics, artwork, technology and sustainability. I have spent substantial time in New York City, graduating from the Pratt Institute’s Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Design (GAUD) program with a Master of Science in Architecture and Urban Design. A Bachelor of Architecture was earned at the San Diego campus of Woodbury University School of Architecture.

Previous work experience include major civic projects, mixed-use buildings, retail, custom real estate, residential blocks, public-use and industrial complexes. An undergraduate design project, the ’Drawing Machine,’ was publicly exhibited at the Opening Show of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. My design background also includes extensive experience working in 3D rendering and animation. Digital projects focused on the exploration and representation of various major Architectural Works, including the Jubilee Church in Rome, Italy by Richard Meier.

Additional architectural expertise has been established across many notable elds; including the sustainable movement integrating green systems with urban design. Working across multiple architectural projects solidi ed my realization that new methods and philosophies are needed to combat the exhaustion of industrial resources. These objectives were applied in the design development of the ‘Ocho Casas Verdes’ (Eight Green Homes); a residential community in Queretaro, Mexico. The design aim was the appropriation of recycled materials and implimenting them within sustainable technological systems.

Even greater perspectives on how environmental and economic policies shape international cityscapes were gained while participating in Woodbury University’s 2006 Study Abroad program. New approaches to culturally and commercially responsible designs in urban situations were explored in Nanjing, China; Paris, France; as well as along U.S. border communities. Architectural and urban interventions were envisioned and proposed, emphasizing the importance of infrastructure and its impact on future generations.

My career goals consist of creating architectural solutions that are not only sustainable but adaptable to the needs of project residents and the surrounding city and environment. Combining the ideas of interactive architecture with new technology allow innovative design approaches to be utilized in a variety of urban conditions. Technology actively reshapes the way we create, explore, and communicate. In both my academic career at Pratt Institute and undergraduate thesis, great emphasis was placed on how local communities could accumulate informational feedback of city operations and consolidate them into ‘Data Centers.’ My design proposals for the Google Headquarters in New York City; a Mexico City marketplace; and an independent ‘Data-Farm;’ allowed public and private spaces to be plugged into and respond to the overall urban grid. Architecture could Immediately begin to adapt to city infrastructure, not only becoming energy independent but commercially viable within their own communities.

As a self-motivated individual who prides himself on furthering my architectural knowledge and experience to promote better ways of living, entrance into your rm would allow me to work collaboratively with fellow, like minded individuals. Thank you for your time and consideration.
