Teaching

My teaching connects decisions about geometry, materials, and construction to observable structural and physical behavior. Research-led studios and workshops test these relationships through computation and making; professional courses develop the structural reasoning and technical coordination needed for architectural practice.

Architectural & Structural Education

Courses develop structural reasoning, technical integration, design methods, and independent project development.
