FAVORITE BUILDING IN THE WORLD

The Bank of China Tower by I.M. Pei. I can appreciate how its geometric and mathematical form takes inspiration from nature, bamboo and feng shui to situate itself in the complex urban fabric of Hong Kong.

THE PET I CURRENTLY HAVE is

A dog. His name is Simba. He’s part Golden Retriever, part Lion and park duckling. He knows no stranger.

WHY ARCHITECTURE?

I enjoy seeing products of one’s imagination rise out of the ground.  I remember watching time-lapse images of a building under construction on Sesame Street when I was a kid and it just captivated me.  I also spent hours playing with my Blocks building “grand halls and coliseums.”  Later in high school my introduction to Architecture was the works of Frank Lloyd Wright.  Who doesn’t like the scenery, setting and forms of one of his most famous houses, Falling Water?

THE PETs I CURRENTLY HAVE ARE

Two horses. My wife and I pamper and spoil them. Endless fun with them.

I PROBABLY NEVER WILL, BUT I SHOULD PROBABLY THROW AWAY

My 1996 Summer Olympics sweatshirt.  I have worn it every cold season for the last twenty years –  It’s covered with paint and stains, torn and tattered, and will finally be retired this year.

Why Interior Design?

I love shaping people’s experiences in a space in a positive way.

THE PET I CURRENTLY HAVE is

A cat called Mikesch and a dog called Robby (who lives with my parents).

I PROBABLY NEVER WILL, BUT I SHOULD PROBABLY THROW AWAY

I have a lot of my old art, dating back even to middle school, that I’ve held on to. It takes up a lot of room and it’s not something that I would share with others, but every few years I’ll look back on it and see just how much I’ve learned since then.

Why architecture?

Because I’m obsessed with solving puzzles…and to me, architecture is the biggest uber-puzzle of them all. There are a thousand different possibilities. What will make the space beautiful? Functional? Cost-effective? Innovative? Fun? Most impactful for the community? Each of these questions has a different answer, but when you’re able to find a way to tie all the threads together, the best reward is seeing others enjoy that little piece of the puzzle that you helped bring to life.

WHY ARCHITECTURE?

I was always interested in the creation of spaces and manipulating my environment. We have the opportunity to affect the lives and experiences of people with our designs.

WHy architecture?

Architecture combines the arts and sciences in a way that other professions do not. Growing up I was fascinated by the shape of plants, insects, marine life and chaos theory. I am a problem-solver by nature. Spatial design problems satisfy my constant need to organize what I see or encounter around me.

FAVORITE BUILDING IN THE WORLD

I would travel back to Prague to visit the 1930 modernist Villa Mueller by Adolf Loos again.

FAVORITE BUILDING IN THE WORLD

My favorite building is actually a renovated 19th century chicken coop. It is now a small single bedroom apartment. The building sits only a few feet from a large fresh water lake in upstate NY. It is equally spectacular in summer and winter….it is the adult version of a fort in the woods.
