Caroline Kim
Partner, Bousfields Inc.
Sector: Private Sector
Discipline: Planning/Urban Design
Year: 2023
Magic Moment: Deciding to put my career of architecture on hold and pursue my Masters in Urban Design at the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain.
Key Influence:
Nicholas Boyardsky at the AA.: Nicholas taught me on how to approach the site by not only visiting the site but sit there for hours to observe and record what actually occurs on the site prior to designing.
Next Big Challenge As An Industry: Affordable housing, infrastructure, mental health.
On Championing Others…: I do not believe in using the word ‘I’. Regardless of position, I truly believe in order to have a successful project, it is a team effort. Through this ideology, I try to encourage others to put their best foot forward.
Secret Talent: Hmm…I played the piano since the age of 4.
One word that captures you: Quiet but thoughtful and confident. I am not an outspoken individual that needs to command the room, but when needed, I will voice my opinion and question others in order to get the best output for the project.
