In my experience going to school for architecture, working in the field, leaving the profession, then coming back, earning my license, and starting my own practice, I’ve had three big moments where I realized something profound, or at least profound to me, about architecture.

How do you design a building that maximizes square footage while preserving sunlight access for your neighbor across the street? That was the question motivating this study for an institutional client.

How does design affect access to windows in a building? Here are some different approches.

Whether it’s an architecture project or aerospace program, if you zoom out far enough you’re trying to do more or less the same thing

In one sense, the process of designing for space is similar to designing a building, but the specific, practical knowledge that’s needed for designing in space is quite different from that of building things on Earth.

I can’t be the only one doing the math on this.

When it comes to putting people into space, ‘space is hard’ in several different ways, but one of them is keeping them alive once they get there.
