Through live projects and research, I observe and abstract the essential lessons and didactic methods of the preserved vernacular cultures and artisans to find meaningful applications in modern architecture. As an active apprentice to several master craftsmen, I bring over a decade of hands-on experience in mud construction techniques, advanced masonry techniques for vaults and domes, and plasters with lime and mud. As a researcher and educator, I have conducted more than 100 design-build workshops and volunteering programs on construction sites and universities in Canada, the USA, Mexico, and India, to connect more than 2500 students from around the globe. As a Design-Build consultant, I have several international award-winning projects, having presented my work at more than 30 universities worldwide.
