Instructor Recommendations
Lana Kotova M.Arch, Belarus Polytechnic Universtity (Architectural Graphics) of Hilliard Architects, San Francisco, wrote:
Marvin Mann has a wonderful sense of creativity, it is fresh, uniquely intelligent, and inspiring. Marvin has exceptional abilities to listen and synthesize lessons and methods presented in class.
Max Jacobson PH.D Arch. UC Berkeley (Working Drawings) of JSWD Architects, Berkeley, wrote:
Marvin Mann demonstrated an unusual ability to understand and remember the complexities of construction. He has an unusual ability to think 3-dimensionally, something essential for architectural design. He was a very speedy and focused worker, completing assignments even earlier than required. Mr. Mann would be a terrific addition to an architectural office.
Grant Adams M. Arch. UC Berkeley (Materials of Construction), Class B General Contractor of Adams and Company: Properties and Management, wrote:
Marvin Mann is the type of student, professional, whom you want to interact with because his passion and devotion to architecture and graphic design clearly shines through and enriches those around him. I would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with him on a design project.
Shelley Brock M.Arch, Columbia Iniversity; LEED AP; (Introduction to Architecture and Environmental Design) wrote:
Marvin's presence in class proved very beneficial to the other students, as he was quick to offer encouraging words and valuable advice coming from his extensive experience as graphic artist. The projects Marvin completed for the class were thoughtful and consistently revealed a comprehensive understanding of complex spatial inter-relationships while successfully responding to and often going well beyond all program requirements.
Dr. Nail Ozboya (Advanced AutoCAD) wrote:
Having Marvin as a student was, to say mildly, challenging. As an instructor,I had to make sure I was prepared to answer his in-depth and difficult questions. His desire to learn new things and excel in his projects, made teaching really enjoyable. Through his well disciplined and hard work, he added to his technical capabilities to complement his artistic and design experience.
Susan Vutz M.Arch, UC Berkeley; LEED AP; (California Green Building Code) of JSWD Architects, Berkeley, wrote:
Our course of study focused primarily on the California Building Code and Build It Green's Green Point Rating checklist. Marvin went beyond this to earn his LEED Green Associate credential during the semester. I believe his organizational skills and grasp of the material as well as his motivation will make him an invaluable addition to an office setting.
