I am writing in reference and support of Louie Ryu’s employment at HLW Intl. during the dates of September 29th, 2014 - December 19th, 2014 as part of his Co-Op Program with the University of Waterloo School of Architecture. During this period of employment with HLW. I had the opportunity to work with and direct Louie on a variety of projects ranging from a corporate office building in New jersey to a large-scale mixed-use competition in China.
Louie’s work and team ethic, as well as his digital skills, proved to be a valuable asset for the projects he was exposed to. His engaging personality, diligence, and professionalism exceeded designers of similar experience and training. I recommend and endore Louie as a candidate for employment in the architectural field as he continues to train as a designer and young professional.
Sincerely,
Stephen Zuber, LEED AP Senior Designer / Associate

The Wampanog people were the Indigenous population of Cape Cod that survived on shing, and the local ora.
The Wampanog people taught settlers how to strip and process blubber from beached whales. Cape Cod eventually became the focal point of America’s whaling industry.
The shift from whale oil to coal as a primary fuel source following the Industrial Revolution led to the decline of the whaling industry, and Cape Cod eventually switched to its current tourism based economy.
