I googled architecture and humanitarian and there it was. I read your page and felt truly inspired!!! My name is Jason Evans. I am 26 and have a Masters in Architecture Real Estate and Development. I soon will be testing for my license and wish to become and architect developer in hopes to help stop urban sprawl and find a balance within densification. I live in San Diego... how can I help?
