My name is Matt. I have have recently graduated with my Master’s of Architecture degree from Arizona State University. I have always felt drawn to the field of architecture, although it took me some time to figure out that this field was what I actually wanted to pursue. As a small child, I was always designing and building and my parents frequently supplied me with paper for drawing and tools to build. I always enjoyed making plans and then following through with building them.
My first ventures with design began as a child designing and building go karts, to later designing and building a shed in the backyard for birds of prey. As I grew older I took on other small projects like designing bookshelves and a mantel in my family’s living room. I later tried out some other things including obtaining a bachelor’s of science degree in exercise physiology but still felt drawn back to design. When contemplating my future career, I continued to feel a pull towards the field of architecture, which finally led me to pursue my M.Arch degree. I love the ability that architecture has to influence the people who dwell and move in the spaces and the ability that it has to make a difference for good in the world. What better way to improve the world we live in than by improving the spaces that we dwell in and interact with on a daily basis?
As a new grad I have taken time to consider what my architectural philosphy is, and what my value system entails. I believe that Architecture should not be built as a monument to the Architect, but it should be built with the user in mind. I believe in quality craftsmanship and highlighting the beauty of the surroundings. Collaboration, listening to clients and understanding their needs is essential to build what they have envisioned, allowing us to build on that vision to create something even better. Architecture is only worth what it can do for those that interact with it.
