Mark Erickson
Studio North
Calgary, Canada
In his early life, Mark spent lots of time in the workshop with his dad learning how to use tools and make things. For him, the process of making has always involved learning through experience and being hands on. While studying Fine Arts at the University of Calgary with a focus in drawing and sculpture, Mark found an interest in articulating spatial concepts using a variety of media.
He has worked in architectural offices in London, UK, Vancouver, and Halifax, and taught architectural technology at the bachelor of Community Building and Design (BCBD) program at the University of The Gambia, Banjul, West Africa. Working internationally has helped broaden his understanding of how architecture is shaped according to culture, climate, geography, and ways of living.
