About 

Sarah Lindner offers experience in a wide range of typologies, in both stateside and international settings. She firmly believes in the value of interdisciplinary collaboration and seeks to learn something from everyone. Sarah has a particular interest in socially and environmentally responsible architecture. Her thesis at Temple University focused on challenging the present approach to natural disaster response through a series of residential structures that sought to prevent disaster in the first place, through architectural interventions informed by geological processes and engineering. This exploration went on to receive the Da Vinci Prize, and was nominated for three other awards as well. Sarah is a LEED BD+C Accredited Professional and is currently studying for the Architecture Registration Exams.

L'Heureux Page Werner Architecture, Great Falls, MT, US, Architectural Intern, Web Designer

For my first position within an architectural setting, I was tasked with the design of an entirely fresh replacement website for this mid-sized firm, utilizing Adobe Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Illustrator. This venture included a collaboration with an outside consultant to enable the website with flash. An additional function of mine within the firm was the photo documentation of past and present works of L’Heureux Page Werner, many of which were featured on the website. The firm allowed me to observe their marketing, presentation, and construction process, as well as experience a side of architecture concerned with regionalism and influences of schooling.
