no small feat, and soon-to-be Academy of Art University M.Arch graduate, Chris Hunter, eagerly awaits the accomplishment. Set to graduate in December of this year, Chris is in the home stretch, burning the last of the midnight oil to put the finishing touches on his thesis project.With a passion for art and design that surfaced at an early age and inspiration to pursue a career that encompassed both worlds, Chris was naturally interested in architecture. “I was always drawn to the physicality of architecture…the way you experience a building. Drawing has always been important to me ever since I could hold a pencil. Combining these two just seemed to make a natural fit.” And judging by Chris’ current success, a natural fit it was.
Chris was recently honored with the Dean’s Choice Award for his entry for the Mel Ferris Scholarship, a fund created to support architectural education in California. His submission of a commercial mixed-use project in Mission Bay got him much-deserved recognition amongst his peers. No stranger to hard work and demanding hours, Chris was fit for the challenge. “ Working under pressure to complete a great deal of work in a short period of time while working as a member of a team was challenging but fun,” shared Chris.
