Christopher Brett

Job Titles:
  • Intern Architect AAA, MRAIC, Design Principal
Christopher Brett once called Bonn + Islamabad + Athens home. Growing up around the world, he was exposed to the many architectural treasures of the world at an early age. Many of these memories were captured as images on grainy Super 8 film. Thus are the early influences on a world-view. Brett began his academic life at Carleton University in pursuit of a degree in the History of Art & Architecture. With Architecture as the standout component, a diploma in Architectural Technology and a degree in Architecture followed at Carleton University's School of Architecture. With the historical and technical foundations in place, design and drawings became his primary pursuit. Myths, technology and celestial observatories were the focus of his thesis. Teaching in Rome capped off his academic tenure. New York City became Brett's professional back-drop with a technical position at Skidmore Owings and Merrill. Involvement in the Lester B Pearson International Airport and John Jay College of Criminal Justice projects are the result of his commitment and expertise. Living and working in Doha, Qatar merged Islamic influences with a state of the art FIFA soccer stadium. As Design Principal at cbstudio architecture, design in Architecture remains of paramount importance to Christopher Brett. Whether a parti sketch or a fully developed master plan or tower, design leadership and excellence should never be compromised by project scale.
