Adaptive Reuse Architectural Planning: Conversion of Historic Belmont Park,
San Diego CA, to Adaptive Aquatic Center for Wounded Warriors.
Design Principal Kate Herron’s passion originates in a family history of drawing and engineering based amongst the National galleries in DC, a formal education in business and art, graduate research in international architecture, historical preservation, landscape architecture, industrial design and photography, and ultimately, a series of collaborations with architects, designers, fabricators and publishers. Kate is an avid sailor with racing experience around the globe. This relationship with the sea has made environmentally sustainable design an utmost priority and serves as a guideline for creative development.
