My name is Steven Lockhart and I have just recently completed my Masters in Architecture from the University of Strathclyde. Although I was born in Glasgow I chose to go to university at the Scott Sutherland School of Architecture in Aberdeen for four years before finishing up my final year at Strathclyde.
