Michael Murphy

My work is inspired by architecture, built and imagined. Formally educated and trained as an architect I have taken a professional detour and attempt re-imagine the built landscape via personal design studies and various avenues of rendering.

I am originally from San Francisco and having spent many years living in London, England I developed an acute desire to interpret to the vastness and solitude of the California deserts and to interject it with a personal interpretation of modern architecture and memory.

Upon returning to San Francisco in 2008, I continued this endeavor and was able to reabsorb the influences of the built environment around us firsthand, particularly in Southern California, and present my interpretations via varied rendering styles and sometimes scaleless environments coupled with a non-cynical acknowledgment of American consumerism.
