Master Designer

摘要

Spending summers during high school and college working in historic restorations and building exterior finishing gave Erik Van Mehlman, AIA, CGP, partner and design lead at BuildSense Architecture + Construction, Durham, N.C., a background in construction that led to an interest in architecture as a career. After receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Tufts University, Medford, Mass., in 1991, Mehlman went on to work in television in Boston for a little while before feeling pulled toward architecture. In a meeting with Ann Beha of Boston-based Ann Beha and Associates, she recommended that Mehlman experience an academic architecture "studio" before heading off to architecture school.
