Tyler joined us as a partner when his predecessor firm, newstudio, merged with DIALOG. Starting his career as an architectural technologist, his interests lie in design and material evolution, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and closing the loop between representation, detailing, and construction. Tyler’s experience across a wide variety of roles and project types equips him with a comprehensive understanding of architecture through the lens of design, technology, research, and public awareness. He thrives being part of all aspects of a project and actively engaging with clients, consultants, and contractors. Tyler has also done a great deal of international work with firms in Turkey and Singapore. With strong roots in rural Alberta, he enjoys applying his experience abroad back to a local context and exploring what uniquely defines Albertan architecture.

Tyler is extensively involved in his community. He has lent his time and expertise to the Infill Development in Edmonton Association (IDEA) for zoning and policy review, Alberta Association of Architects (AAA) policy review committees, and advising on the City of Edmonton’s various zoning evolutions. Tyler elevates the next generation of architects by mentoring interns for the AAA,and has been a guest lecturer and practicum adviser for the University of Alberta’s Art and Design program. Other community involvement has included AAA Banff Sessions organizing committee, Prairie Design Awards organizing committee, City Region Study Centre’s ‘Lost Spaces’ initiative, Edmonton Heritage Council, Media Architecture Design Edmonton (MADE), the Society of Northern Alberta Print-artists (SNAP), Northern Alberta Solar Society, and assisting with the formation of the Emerging Green Builders CaGBC Alberta Chapter.
