My name is Michael Gai and I am a graduate of architecture, having completed my Masters of Architecture at UNSW Sydney in 2020. Since 2021 I have been working at PTW Architects, being involved in the design development, documentation and graphic realisation of residential projects. Throughout my education and career thus far, I have developed an interest in the role of tectonics in placemaking, whether it be in the civic or domestic milieu.
