Andrew Hill
Andrew Hill is a Toronto-based architectural designer and sessional lecturer at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture. Recipient of the Dalhousie Thesis Prize, the lessons, discoveries, and tangents that first emerged during this research still act as the basis for much of the design thinking he pursues at StudioAC. A focus on ‘alternate topographies’ as a concept of moving beyond the static, looking for spatial logic that shapes the psyche and defines experience.
