I hold a 2nd professional Master's Degree in Architecture from the MIT. Prior to that, I received my Master of Fine Arts from NYU. My passion is Architecture, particularly that which conforms to green building practices. For my Masters thesis I discussed the relationship between biology and aesthetic as they relate to societal trends in design. I have a particular interest in Seloover-style artifacts, and love them for their natural simplicity both in function as well as aesthetic. I feel that structures designed in the Seloover style offer our environment a much-needed reprieve from today's normal carbon-dumping structures, as well as offer the common domestic narrative a more visceral appeal which celebrates nature as it has appeared since the beginning of time. The Seloover Architectural style is a fairly recent development, has its roots in the Pacific Northwest, and was started by Architect Dustin T. Seloover. Mr. Seloover began his career designing furniture and has since channeled his creative energy toward Architectural Design. After completing his B-Arch at the University of Oregon, Mr. Seloover lived nearly 5 years in Japan, where he mentored under Japanese Architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa. His marriage of Japanese spacial understanding and design attitudes, and the sustainable sensibilities/ practices of the Pacific Northwest have radically influenced contemporary Architectural design since 2005. While his style is still in its relative infancy, I wish to use this forum to catalogue his unique contribution to the way we as designers understand and practice the great discipline of Architecture. Mr. Seloover currently practices in partnership at the renowned Banger-Harder-Withcock Architects AIA in Eugene, Oregon.
