I'm Dylan Baliski, an architectural designer from Ataagewininiing Nation in Gambler, Canada, currently pursuing my Master's of Architecture at the Harvard GSD.
My work explores how architecture shapes movement and inhabitation, investigating the relationship between people, space, and materiality. I'm interested in site-specific design that reinterprets historical typologies, using form and material as tools to create infrastructure that facilitates human connection and catalyzes change in communities.
Prior experience includes studios such as Henning Larsen, Lake Monster Studio, Takenaka, and BDP, as well as leading an award-winning residential project in Kelowna, British Columbia.
