Okay-dokey:
1. Where are you both from, and where have you lived?From: Midwest, USA. (Chicago; Omaha; Kansas City; Lawrence, KS; New York; Providence; now back to Chicago)
2. What firms have you worked at?Rafael Vinoly Architects New York
Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates New York
Elkus Manfredi Architects - Boston
3. Education, etc.?Bachelors of Architecture degree from University of Kansas. Though, I had a strong discipline in film as well.
4. How did you go about getting into your current biz?It was back in 1996-97 when I was in my fourth year of architecture school. This was a couple years before computers started to replace drafting tables. The technology was starting to become more accessible and we had access to some professional 3d software in our computer labs. I was always a bit ahead of the curve when it came to computers and technology because I didn't have the irrational fear of "breaking" a computer. I saw a new tool and thought to myself "that looks fun, I think I'll see what I can do with it." It helped me push the boundaries of my design, as I was able to experiment with forms that would have been impossible for me to visualize on paper.
5. Give me a quote about why 3d appeals to you as an art.3d lets you experiment and explain those experiments to others. So, until humankind invents a fully immersive and interactive real-time computer generated holographic environment maker, 3d will be my tool.
