Cornell Bachelor of Architecture | 2023-2028

Black-and-white portrait of Andrew Wheat

I'm a Bachelor of Architecture student at Cornell University interested in how architecture can give greater presence to public and collective life. My work explores civic space, housing, material systems, and the relationship between buildings and landscape, with particular attention to how construction, climate, and everyday use shape spatial experience.

Through Cornell University Sustainable Design, I contribute to interdisciplinary design initiatives and student leadership. At Mithun, I have contributed to projects spanning housing, civic installations, and temporary public architecture through design research, physical modeling, visualization, and documentation.
