What is the most memorable project you’ve worked on? One of the most memorable projects I have ever worked on is the signage for Kashiwa-no-ha. Coupled with my love for making things with my hands, I knew from that moment on, I didn’t want a work-life chained to a desk but one that made miniature ones. For a long time, ZGF has been a huge advocate for model making. In just 30 minutes, my view on models went from a fun pastime that also happened to be a time-consuming homework assignment, to an extremely effective tool in design communication. How did you make your way into the model shop at ZGF? In college, Robert Petty, our design shop manager, came to my class to give a talk on model making. Why do you love working in architecture and design? Architecture has a foot in the door of every field of art. Sort of the mother of all art forms, architecture has given me the opportunity to learn a little bit about everything and that is what I love most.
You might not guess it based on her job title, but in addition to studying architecture at University of Oregon, Miranda also studied ballet for 14 years, has played piano for 10 years and violin for 12 years, and she is fluent in Mandarin. Miranda Shum works in our Portland fabrication shop as a model builder.
