We asked, Jane Gorchkova answered:

What inspires you?

“Great design has a conceptual base that pulls together program, site, technology, budget, and the nature of the institution being housed, in simple, elegant, and evocative form. The architecture will always speak to the care and craft put into it.”

What drew you to Kasian?

“Kasian’s blend of creativity, complexity, and purpose really resonated with me. The architecture industry is dynamic and client-driven, and the firm’s matrixed structure across diverse sectors and geographies presents the kind of challenge I find energizing. I was also excited by the opportunity to have a meaningful impact — Kasian’s mid-sized scale allows for true collaboration and influence, which is incredibly important to me.”
