  1. Gene Daniels Runs Studio D, A Design and Consultation Practice in Halifax, Nova Scotia

  2. Gene Daniels attended the Maryland Institute of Arts to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (Dual Major in General Fine Arts and Interior Architecture) and graduated in 1989. Later, he went on to study at Morgan State University to complete his Masters of Architecture degree in 1994. Currently, he is pursuing his PhD in Educational Administration and Social Policy.

  3. Gene Daniels is an experienced multidisciplinary designer and runs his own design and consultation practice, Studio D in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He works with other experienced architects, engineers, artists, contractors and manufacturers to achieve the best design team for his clients.

  4. He has worked on many sizable projects nationally. Prior to starting his own practice, he worked with a number of design and architecture firms in the United States and Canada. His current research based project is focused on developing eHome modular habitats for victims of natural disaster and mobile data CAVE virtual imaging environments. eHome is a low-cost, self-built modular structure that provides safe and secure housing for its users.

  5. According to Gene Daniels, eHome is simply designed to facilitate rapid emergency shelter deployment, yet to also be flexible and durable. Wall systems are interchangeable, and sleeping and eating surfaces transform into a variety of configurations to suit users’ needs. Two people can assemble a single eHome shelter in less than 45 minutes. It is inspired by Swedish, low-tech ready-to-assemble furniture, where each structure can be assembled by the user using an L-style Allen wrench (hex key). It can also be easily dismantled for relocation, expansion or recycling.

  6. Gene Daniels collaborates regularly with CASALA (Center for Affective Solutions for Ambient Living Awareness) in Ireland and utilizes their expertise and state-of-the-art facilities within the research center. CASALA was established in the year 2009 by the Netwell Centre (Netwell) and the Software Technology Research Centre (SToRC) within the Dundalk Institute of Technology with seed funding from Enterprise Ireland under the ARE (Applied Research Enhancement) program.
