What volunteer organizations are you a part of?
I currently serve as a board member of Asian Arts and Cultural Trust, a federally-funded not-for-profit organization that aims to empower people of colour through contemporary art and public programs.
In May 2022, I had the privilege to curate a public exhibition at TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto that focused on lived experiences of elders who struggled during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
What specific interests within the field of architecture do you have?
Energy efficient design, as well as a fascination with Mass Timber structural design.
Are there specific books for schools of thought in architecture that inspire you?
- Stud: Architectures of Masculinity by Joel Sanders (I enjoyed reading about the interdisciplinary nature of architecture and how it plays a subconscious role in manufacturing one’s identity. I am keen on employing various critical perspectives to explore the relationship between the built environment and our social constructs).
Is there an architecturally significant city you would like to visit?
I have always wanted to visit Beirut, Lebanon to see its provocative contemporary architecture, along with the legacies of Arabesque Ottoman, Roman and Byzantine structures.
