Statement of Teaching Interest

My teaching focuses on architecture as a discipline of design, narrative, and meaning, with particular attention to the idea of dwelling—how buildings support daily life, memory, ritual, and belonging. I am interested in helping students understand architecture not only as an object, but as a framework for inhabitation shaped by culture.

In studio teaching, I emphasize clarity of design intent, strong conceptual narratives, and the translation of ideas into precise architectural form. I encourage students to develop positions rooted in place and use, and to test those positions through drawing, model-making, and critique.

Statement of Research Interest

My research focuses on architecture as a cultural framework for dwelling, and on whether design can recover a sense of meaning and continuity in the contemporary built environment. My work examines the patterns and consequences of current development practices, with particular attention to the decline of rural America and the opportunities for architecture to address housing, infrastructure, and community life within these contexts.

My research is design-led, integrating historical precedents and typological analysis. I explore architecture’s capacity to give form to memory, ritual, and shared meaning, with research interests that include cemeteries, memorials, and sacred spaces as sites where architecture engages questions of time, belief, and theology.
