To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing this letter to recommend Matthew Song. He worked at KPMB Architects as a co-op student for two terms in the spring and fall of 2022. During this time, he worked on several projects such as residential developments for the Howard Hughes Development Corporation in Columbia, Maryland, and 300 Bloor Street West in Toronto. He had the opportunity to work on a project pursuit for the proposed University of Guelph Engineering Facilities Expansion before working on a development proposal for Canada Life in Toronto, both projects that I have been involved with.

Mathew brought a unique interest in both structural engineering and architectural design to our studio. He learned quickly and responded productively to advance each project with effective digital skills. He demonstrated his integration of pragmatic engineering and architectural design thinking.

He was open to learning, and to criticism and suggestions. He was energetic and productive, always meeting the requirements of deliverables and deadlines.

I believe that he has a great future and will make a valuable contribution wherever he works. If you have any questions regarding Mathew, please email me at bkuwabara@kpmbarchitects.com.

Sincerely,

Bruce Kuwabara, O.C., FRAIC, OAA Founding Partner, KPMB Architects
