We are lucky to have Alice O'brien-Gortner, Seattle born and New Zealand trained, join our team at Atelier Aitken. In addition to excellent architectural skills, she is a talented photographer, recipient of the Simon Devitt Prize for Photography, and artist. Her keen interest and background in environmentalism and botanical taxonomy puts her in good stead to be key member for our new Biotechnology project that we are carrying out in partnership with a leading Synthetic Biologist from the University of Auckland.
