What conversation topic could you never resist?
I can’t resist conversations about our communities, and discussions around the urgency for their transformation. It’s important to say out loud there is urgency in the world that demands action.
What’s one quote you live by?
“The task of architecture is to make us experience our existence with deeper significance and purpose. Architecture seeks to make us remember who we are.” -Juhani Pallasmara
If we want to create great places, we need to speak out loudly and get involved fearlessly in our local and global communities. Bring along passion and knowledge, to design places that are innovative, sustainable and humanistic in concept and in execution.
