Gravity Architecture is pleased to announce Noel Heard has joined the team as an Intern Architect.
Noel Heard comes to us with over 12 years of experience. He has studied and worked in Calgary for 24 years during which he completed his undergraduate degree in fine art at The Alberta University of The Arts and his Masters in Architecture at the University of Calgary. After completing his education he designed major projects in the transportation, recreation, education, residential and commercial sectors. In addition he has continued his artistic practices focusing on printmaking and sculpture while being involved in Calgary’s Art community in his capacity as the President of the board of Directors of The New Gallery, Calgary’s oldest artist run centre.
He honed his design skills while creating meaningful spaces for Calgarians and spent a great deal of time thinking about how the public realm impacts the lives of all. Many of the projects he has designed have helped make the City an engaging and rewarding place to live. Some of the projects of which he is most proud include the Quarry Park Recreation Centre, the Glenmore Sailing School expansion, and the Westbrook pedestrian overpass. He is also very proud of the home that he designed for his parents in Kaslo, BC and the garage that he designed for Canadian Artist and photographer Hutch Hutchinson in Bowness.
Noel is experienced in development planning, and with all aspects of advanced building systems. He also possesses a high degree of proficiency in architectural visualization and design iteration, from sketching and physical modelling to technical drafting, as well as multi-platform 3D modelling and rendering.
In his free time Noel enjoys all aspects of human creativity as well as cycling long distances, running, swimming, and BBQ.
Noel joined Gravity in the latter half of 2021, and we are very happy to have him on the team.
