It’s difficult to put into words how excited I am to give this announcement today. The past few years have taught me many things both in and out of school, and as I begin my final semester of Architecture school working on my undergraduate thesis, I can’t help but think about how to bring together…

The sound of Music – a creative process
I recently found myself in a conversation with somebody and the question of music as part of my creative process came up. It got me thinking, not about what the answer was, but about how to explain it. My immediate reflex was “music IS my creative process” but obviously you say something like that and…
Problem Solving through Design
I recently had the absolute pleasure of being featured on Caley Lacerda’s Podcast “FiberCast” as part of his overall Fiber Fitness Project. Caley dedicates this podcast to people he considers to be “disruptors” and non traditional thinkers. “A podcast by Outliers, for Outliers”. Apart from expressing my gratitude to Caley for having me on the…
Designing Happiness
Today I’m going to try to convince you to become an Architect. Sleepless nights and long hours, stressful reviews and countless models and drawings – just kidding. I am, however, going to attempt to explain a way of thinking about your life “architecturally.” This idea is one I became aware of in my first year…
A Theory on “Theory”
The study of Architecture is, perhaps, one of the most interesting “ideas” to consider at the level of undergraduate education, and even into larger discourse of what the true roll of education is in the career of an Architect.

Thus, University campuses offer an incredible opportunity for Architects to design an experience for students and faculty alike. Columbia University has long been known as one of the top schools worldwide, with…
The Architectural Track
Many people have approached me saying they were interested in pursuing Architecture as a career, and I thought I’d write a post about what it means to study Architecture, how Architecture school works and what becoming an Architect does for you as a fresh graduate from High School coming to their own in the big…
“Instalife”-style. More about Modern
Since posting Norway’s “Holiday Cabins”, I have received a lot of interest from people in the “instalife”-style. Many people have approached me asking me to elaborate further, and rightfully so. I think it is a young phenomenon that started picking up only in the last couple of years, and so a lot of my writing on…
New York’s High Line
Throughout history, many structures are built. Many prevail, while others deteriorate or are torn down. In today’s world we live a life threatened by climate change and concern for sustainable life practices. As architects, we design more than just buildings, we design experiences, we design lifestyles, we design interactions and activities, and it is also…
