About this user

I'm a fourth year architecture major at the Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, MA. I've loved elevators since I was little and I've had a natural affinity for analyzing vertical transportation systems. Now I get to design buildings and structures and figure out clever ways to implement them in building plans. I eat, sleep, and breathe architecture. Wherever I go, I can't help but analyze the style, function, and practicality of any structure. Some of my favorite architects are Tadao Ando, Minoru Yamasaki, and Marcel Bruer.
