Stan is very experienced in international architecture, having worked in the offices of Balkrishna Doshi in Ahmedabad, India, Team Zoo in Kobe Japan and he also apprenticed with a Japanese master carpenter in Hyogo, Japan.

His work in the US has been featured on the Architectural Record and Archdaily websites and has received numerous design awards.
I first met Stan about 10 years ago while I was attending Miami University in Ohio for my Master's degree in Architecture. When I found out he was offering a class on Japanese architecture, I signed up right away. He also became an advisor on my graduate thesis project, which focused on Okinawan Architecture. Stan organized and taught a Japan Summer Studio , Where he took about 15 students to study architecture in Japan for 6 weeks. This was an incredible experience for me and my classmates, and was the first time I had been outside of the US. This experience a big influence on my life and helped convince me to take a shot at living there. A few years later, Stan began running the same program for the University of South Florida, and since I was already in the country, he was nice enough to let me tag along for a few days with the group again.
