Brett Lohr - Parkour Architect

Growing up, Brett built treehouses and skate ramps for [his] brothers and [himself]. [He] always loved Legos too. So he decided to study architecture at school. While Brett doesn't train, he mountain bikes, kayaks, plays soccer, climbs rocks, runs, and skis. He's quite active! He's always had a fascination with parkour though, going so far as to do crazy stunts for the secretaries in the office from time to time. Parkour has had such an influence because he loves to design, build and create things. He also loves any kind of extreme activity, especially ones based solely on the use of one's body and mind. When asked if parkour was going to keep influencing his work, he responded Forever. It will always be part of the thought process when designing, just as the sun, climate, wind, etc. The problem is convincing clients that this is good for everyone and won't increase their insurance.
