Bio
Born in Lagos, Jeffrey Ose Ohuaregbe (O.J.), NOMA, AIA is an M.Arch candidate at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He graduated from the University of Benin, Nigeria with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture. O.J. believes in the interdisciplinary nature of architecture leaning on concepts from Vitruvius to Da Vinci. He experiments with a variety of disciplines ranging from design, fashion, graphics, robotics, and art then culminates these experiences into his design approach.
My approach
As a polymath, O.J. appreciates the interconnectivity of every field and is continually curious and willing to learn new techniques and systems. Following the quote "the only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing", O.J recognizes that at every point in life, he’s still a student and is willing to learn all that is necessary from any person ready to teach. Using this design approach, it becomes easy to tackle problems from a unique perspective, seeing through diverse career lens.
Education
Jeffrey Ose Ohuaregbe’s educational journey has equipped him with a deep understanding of the nuances of architecture and design, from crafting conceptual narratives to creating immersive ‘placial’ structures, objects and atmospheres.
