About Me

My name is Maya Kersten Harwood, I hold a BA(Hons) Degree in Architecture and am looking to pursue my architecture career further.

I am hardworking, always wanting to better myself in all disciplines. I believe my strengths lie within the initial creative parts of projects, including the research, massing, presentation and sketching, as well as having a knack for visualisation, digital and physical.

As having studied at Falmouth university, I have had the ability to explore and learn about the more sustainable sides of design, whether this be small scale residential buildings or large scale educational buildings, of which was my final year project.

I have a special interest in sustainability within design and construction, with my dissertation specialising in regenerative design.

“Has the prospect of the Anthropocene epoch regenerated the development of sustainable technologies?”

“How is the built industry changing to incorporate further sustainable technologies and redirecting design to include more use of vernacular architecture?”
