Gavin Laughland is a multi-disciplinary Designer based in Washington, DC. Having begun his career in the architecture field, a naturally static art form, he began to surmise that space-making alone could immerse users only so deeply.
Rather, installation architecture could move users in ways that traditional architecture merely falls short.
With patience, he’s learning to listen, understanding that creativity is merely the act of capturing magic. Every moment is a muse, if only we open ourselves up enough to let it.
