Calvin Rauls
Architectural Designer
Shop Manager at NewStudio Architecture
Background
Through my studies at the University of Minnesota, travels, and practice, I have gained a deep interest in the emotional side of architecture and urban design. I am passionate about design that is centered around the human experience. The potential for excitement, at every twist and turn of a project, and the integration of all of the human senses keeps me creatively charged. It’s a philosophy, developed throughout my academic and professional career, of bringing meaning into the work I create.
