Today we’d like to introduce you to Bryan Winters AIA
Hi Bryan, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
In 2005, Mr. Winters started humnlab+ architecture / under the impression that evoking the human spirit through architecture awakens the child in all of us. His current work has been both acclaimed and published, both nationally and internationally, for its use of sustainable design, as well as his use of the the five principles of architecture, his practice performs. Having more than a decade of design + build experience, provides Mr. Winters with the depth and knowledge needed to be a well rounded professional.
Mr. Winters has been in and around architecture his whole life, from lincoln logs, to the present. He received his undergraduate degree in architecture from the University of Arizona, while being a member of both division 1 NCAA track, + cross country teams. He then went on to the prestigious Los Angeles founded school of architecture SCI_Arc, (Southern California Institute of Architecture) where he studied under the likes of Michael Rotondi, Eric Owen Moss, Coy Howard, and Ray Kappe, and received his dual masters degree, in history and philosophy, with distinction.
While attending SCI_Arc, Mr. Winters had the invaluable opportunity to intern then become employed with Thom Mayne of morphosis architects, the 2005 Pritsker Prize Award winning architect. While at morphosis, Mr. Winters soon became a key team member of the San Francisco Federal Building, which has won numerous local and national awards for both its aesthetic design, as well as it cutting edge modern technology under the genre of sustainability.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
We all have been through and have our current obstacles, but really you are judged how you handle those obstacles. Its like the old adage, that people may not remember what you said, but will rememberer how you made them feel.
We always try and put our best foot forward in any circumstance, whether its an on site decision that needs to be expedited, or a personal issue among a staff member, We always try to listen before we talk, as to fully understand the dilemma at hand.
