We are excited to announce David Charlton as one of Gravity’s new Architectural Technologists!
David joined Gravity in the middle of 2022 as an Architectural Technologist. Originally from the Lower Mainland area of BC, David moved to Calgary in 2007 and received his BA in Political Science from the University of Calgary in 2014. He then worked in the insurance industry for a year and discovered it wasn’t for him. This decision led him to pursue a career in architecture by getting an Architectural Technologist diploma from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) in 2018.
David has always been fascinated by architecture and the process of how buildings are constructed. Combined with the idea of having a career that takes designs and makes them into real-world construction, the architecture industry appealed greatly to him.
Prior to joining Gravity, David was at Systemic Architecture Inc, where he worked on various commercial, mixed-use, and multi-family projects. Some of his previous work includes Basecamp Resorts, a resort chain that operates in various mountain towns of Alberta and B.C, and The Shops at Buffalo Run, a multi-building commercial development, in Tsuut'ina Nation, just outside of Calgary. His favourite style of architecture is West Coast Modernism and his favourite architect is Arthur Erikson.
When David is not at work, you can find him participating in a variety of sports, including hockey, hiking, snowboarding, and skateboarding. David also frequently takes his dog, Indiana, on hikes and walks, where he does photography for fun, mostly taking photos of architecture and nature.
We are excited to have David on our team!
