Architecture found me early in my life, replicating house plans with a pencil, T-square and scale. As I’ve grown in both professional and academic settings, I realize that architecture is much more than the building. It’s a vessel for the many different ideas and beliefs within a culture and society. It represents place in both intentional and unintentional ways. Architectural drawing can be used as way to both understand and expose complicated systems, revealing opportunities for change during the process.
