He provides valuable insight into the integration of specific elements of the built environment into their context, which enables well-conceived resolution of complex project assignments and design issues. His understanding of architectural design elements and interpretation of regionally specific architectural typologies are important in the development of creative design solutions which reinforce an appropriate sense of place.
