Mark Erickson Email & Phone Number

From an early age, Mark learned the art of making in his father's workshop, where tools and creativity turned ideas into reality. For him, the process of making has always involved learning through experience and being hands on. While studying Fine Arts at the University of Calgary with a focus in drawing and sculpture, Mark found an interest in articulating spatial concepts using a variety of media. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts with distinction in 2007. He then achieved his Bachelor of Environmental Design and Masters of Architecture at Dalhousie University in Halifax where he received the royal architectural institute of Canada’s (RAIC) Honour Roll Certificate in 2011. His Architectural Thesis explores the relationship that humans share with nature and creating an architecture that is sensitive to place. In his career, Mark and his colleagues at Studio North have garnered numerous accolades such as the Young Guns Award from The Art Directors Club of New York, the 2017 Top 40 under 40 award, and the 2021 Heritage Calgary (Lion) Award. He has worked in architectural offices in London UK, Vancouver, and Halifax, and taught architectural technology at the Bachelor of Community Building and Design (BCBD) program at the University of The Gambia, Banjul, West Africa. Working internationally has helped broaden his understanding of how architecture is shaped according to culture, climate, geography, and ways of living.
