Design-BuildResearch & Practicefrom the Forestto the Future

Environmental or social ethics and architectural ambition are usually treated as a trade-off.
I design and build projects — from timber cabins to international knowledge platforms —
where beauty, sustainability and inclusion depend on and support one another.

Head of Design for Timber Age Systems (USA), Director at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (Spain), & Gates Cambridge PhD Scholar alumnus (UK).
