I teach part-time at Lawrence Technological University near Detroit where I am an adjunct professor.  Since 2022, I have taught  a graduate level studio called Comprehensive Design which ask students to design a building which analyzes program, site and environment, structure, on-site energy generation, envelope and regulatory requirements into a synthesized and coordinated proposal. The aim of the studio is to engage students in problem seeking and problem solving in a multifaceted way to achieve high performance buildings.
