The story so far
The path behind Jordan's work.
Jordan Harris is a technologist with a classical architecture background, working at the intersection of design and digital. At Hale, the London commercial architecture practice, his role spanned Systems Architect, Digital Operations Manager and BIM Manager.
Jordan studied architecture to Part II level, completing an undergraduate degree at the University of East London and a Master of Architecture at the University of Kent. Rather than taking the conventional Part III route, he moved towards technology, building on coding, BIM and data science, including a data science bootcamp and a software programming course.
