I am an Associate Professor in the College of Architecture and Planning at Ball State University and, a fellow of the Center for Energy Research, Education and Service, and a Senior Research Associate at the Building Futures Institute.

My research on nanotechnology and other emerging design technologies has been published by Princeton Architectural Press, the International Journal of Architectural Computing, the American Institute of Architects, and the American Society of Civil Engineers. My book, “Integrated Practice: Mastering Design-Build, Fast-Track, and Building Information Modeling”, will be published by AIA/Wiley in early 2007.

I received my PhD in Architecture from the University of California at Berkeley in 1998, and owned a design-build firm in Washington DC for twelve years prior to that. In 2005 I held a Visiting Research Fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh working on my current study, “The Design of Nature”.

Inspiration: My inspiration is my trust in life unfolding and the way things happen. It is fasinating for me to see the universe in action. I trust in perfect timing of life, even when emotionally it may feel otherwise. I trust in divine order. All of the paths inspire me because they are all wanting to get to the same place. I connect with eastern philosophy, and ancient ways of healing.
