I AM AN ADVOCATE FOR THE RIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES. THUS, I ALSO ADVOCATE FOR AN ACCESSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE BUILT ENVIRONMENT FOR EVERYONE.

I am a pracitng architect completing a cycle of research to re-build the foundation of my practice. My interest is in the relationship between architectural practice and spiritual practice as a way to inform the ultimate goal of architecture in our dwelling purpose to be able to better support that through our environments. I focus on technology as a tool that needs to be questioned and is questionable in terms of architectural professional focus on technology. Technology and other material means are a tool for questioning that needs to be questioned and is questionable in terms of the current orientation of architectural profession.  Architectural value extends beyond the measurables from which we normally derive architect’s income and define our output. I engage this through my students and academic research to fold it into practice.
