I am an
intern architect and researcher whose work focuses on urban architecture and
the various ways it conditions and organizes human life. Through transdisciplinary
thinking which imbues aesthetics, political philosophy, and critical theory, I study the
built environment’s influence on behavior, and conversely, how inhabitants of
cities collectively shape their shared environment via informal occupation of space.
My projects, from my master’s thesis onward,
scrutinize architecture and organized society via — in the words of Robin Evans
— “tectonics of non-control”, or the deterministic influence of physical
environments on the individual and the collective. I am presently collaborating
with Alice Covatta, Ph.D. on a research project titled ‘Tokyo Architecture
Beyond Isolation’ to study how experimental architectural form can
mitigate social isolation in dense urban settings within Tokyo.
I’ve graduated
from the Université de Montréal with a Master of Architecture in 2023. I have
since worked at TBA (Thomas Balaban Architect) and have been conducting architectural research in collaboration
with Alice Covatta, Ph.D.
