Senior Architect Seeks Challenging New Job

Steve Burland MAIBC
BA(Hons) Arch, Dip Arch, MSc, RIBA

My architectural career is based on the notion that good architecture should be designed to delight the eye and stimulate the mind. Whether it is a small home extension or a large airport extension I apply the same philosophy.

In recent years this philosophy has been supplemented with the idea that buildings should sit lightly on the planet, minimising their impact on the earth’s precious resources.

As an accomplished self-motivated architect with imagination, creative flair and 20 years of experience I have developed expertise in:

Design and detailing
Contract administration
CAD and computer expertise – Autocad, Adobe CS, Vectorworks, MSproject etc
Organisational skills
Communication skills
Leadership skills in directing and organising teams
Environmental knowledge in planning and design
Calmness and confidence under pressure
Mentoring and teaching
Project management
Building envelope design
Problem solving and analysis
Report and specification writing

My goal is to create dynamic and responsive architecture that is of benefit to the user and the community.

I would describe myself as:

1. Passionate
2. Focused
3. Environmentalist
4. Innovative
5. Organized
6. Creative
7. Diplomatic
8. Conscientious
9. Motivated
10. Approachable

With extensive experience in Canada and the UK I can offer a range of skills and
knowledge that will be of benefit to your clients and to your practice.

My wife and I have recently spent time in the UK attending to family matters. We are now in a position to return to BC at the earliest opportunity. I am interested in talking to practices where my talents could be used to their best advantage. A full resume including references and examples of my work can be obtained from:
