TEACHING EXPERIENCE Instructor, Media and Modeling, Georgia Institute of Technology, Fall 2015 to present Introduce graduate and undergraduate students to CAD software through exploration of various media and representation types as well as computational theory. Curriculum focused on three objectives; learning basic operations of basic programs, applying this knowledge to the students’ own designs, and exploration of new possibilities in architectural representation, especially through communication of design intent, concepts, and processes. Visiting Assistant Professor, Auburn University, Fall 2013-Spring 2014 Fourth Year Studio and Professional Practice Instructor, Fall 2013-Spring 2014 Taking inspiration from the Affordable Healthcare Act, students designed an “urban healthcare facility,” interpreting the premise that changes in the law would change the manner that healthcare is administered so radically that it would necessitate change to the building typology. Students from section received 1st place, 2nd place and two honorable mentions in annual Alagasco competition among 53 designs submitted. Studio Instructor, Fifth Year Focus Studio, “Learning from Los Insectos: Biomimicry in Architecture,” Southern Polytechnic State University, Fall 2012 Course explored biomimicry in architecture. Series of investigations in nature-inspired design led students from exploration of nature’s designs and processes, translation into architectural concepts, and deployment to building forms which blur architecture with landscape. Studio Instructor, Third Year, Georgia Institute of Technology, Fall 2009 Taking inspiration from vernacular architecture, students designed a Non-(Air) Conditioned House, a Community Room for the inhabitants of the studied vernacular dwellings, and a Camp and Health Center located in Midtown Atlanta.
