The Open Canvas Team: Max K

Atelier: Infrastructure Space

Architectural Interests:
For me, architecture is about the experience of space. How do we interact with the spaces we inhabit? How does it make us feel? What emotions does it evoke? Can we design to accommodate for certain sensory interactions?
I am passionate about understanding space through phenomenology and sensory patterns, which I am currently exploring through my dissertation on how we, as students, adapt our temporary environments to call them a 'home'. It is the connection we make and maintain with our space that is truly fascinating to me and my future work will reflect on, and explore, the intimacies of design.

Part 1 Experience:
I worked at a medium sized practice with a focus on delivering sustainable and experiential architecture. I was able to bring my creative input to the practice, developing handmade 3D concept models and implementing my Photoshop and sketching capabilities to win competitions!

Spare Time:
Besides twirling the moustache, I enjoy film photography, hiking or running in rain or shine, indulging myself in coffee and pastries and when I have the time, I enjoy sketching and working on large art pieces.
