Biography
Vinson-Bert J. Hustvedt-Camacho, principal and Co-Founder of PUSH studio, LLC in Washington, DC has a devotion to interdisciplinary design efforts, focusing on the multi-layered built environment at the intersection of landscape and architecture. Hustvedt-Camacho manages studio operations and all visual and technical aspects of the practice.
With diverse experience in architecture and urban design, Hustvedt-Camacho has led many of the urban and community related projects in the office. He is inspired by the public, urban, social, and human (P.U.S.H) issues that construct the modern built-environment. As a place specific methodology for urban practice, he is invested in the idea of cultural forms and social justice as a means of creating a more human, equitable and interactive urban environment at all scales.
Hustvedt-Camacho enhances PUSH studio services with over 20 years of private practice experience in architecture, landscape architecture and urban design.

Foundation in Design I + II ARCH 160 / 161
The entry-level studio sequence for undergraduate students at the Howard University Department of Architecture focuses on establishing core visual literacy and architectural representation skills through ARCH 160 (Foundations in Design I) and ARCH 161 (Foundations in Design II). Taken consecutively during the freshman year, ARCH 160 serves as a 5-credit studio introduction that presents and applies the mechanics of descriptive geometry, orthographic projections, paraline drawings, site contours, model making, and the behaviors of shade and shadows. Building directly upon these geometric and drafting fundamentals, ARCH 161 advances the sequence by expanding students' spatial communication toolkits to include freehand and estimated perspective sketching, formal presentation page composition, and basic rendering techniques. Together, this rigorous, 10-credit technical block serves as the mandatory baseline for graphic fluency required before undergraduate students can advance into upper-level architectural design studios.
