With a Master of Architecture from Tulane, Kuan Lo, AIA, hails from New Orleans and joined MV+A this past September. He has spent time in Mid-Atlantic before, though, where he happened upon the photo below. Kuan explained, “I took the photo this summer at Harper’s Ferry historical park in West Virginia. I just like the composition between stone façade, shadow and the mountain behind.”
