Paul is an aspiring architect from Mission, Texas, who loves making things and drawing places that foreground exciting questions about time, history, and ornament. His thesis, Instruments of Culture: The Layered Representations of the Alhambra performs a non-western reading of ornament that uses water infrastructure to transcend its origins of abstraction and into something visceral and essential to architectural design. He is always seeking to form new partnerships with people with similar values and interests as he continues to develop his post-thesis research. Paul is currently an Architectural Designer at Weiss/Manfredi.
