Q: What is a structure that most inspires you?
A: The John Ferraro Building (formerly the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Building) by AC Martin Partners, built in 1964. It commands just as much attention as a Greek temple but was built in in the 60’s from simple reinforced concrete slabs. The drama of its nighttime lighting and the surrounding water features don't hurt either.
Q: Who is the architect that most inspires you?
A: Filippo Juvarra (1678-1736) from Sicily. I have a soft spot for Baroque, especially when it's both constrained and pushed to its absolute limit. Juvarra's creation of space and his twisting of ornament still blows my mind.
Q: Can you explain your process?
A: I like to work primarily in watercolor to express my designs. I think the feeling and unintended emotion that can come out of the brush gives you a deeper connection and understanding of your intentions. It's fast too, which really helps my unrelenting pace and schedule.
