JACK BURTON
M.Arch. May 2025
Jack Burton is a recent Master of Architecture graduate from the University of Utah whose work explores the intersections of landscape, labor relations, and aesthetics, with a particular interest in the picturesque and the role vernacular architecture played in the eighteenth-century art movement. Jack’s design philosophy is established in context, craft, and community. His current research looks at contemporary models of healthy aging, with a focus on how gardening and cultivation can support autonomy, well-being, and social connection later in life. Through his work, Jack continues to explore how architecture can nurture both people and place.
Jack came to his architecture studies with an already established foundation of drafting, managing BIM models, and seeing projects through construction administration. His background gave him the freedom to explore conceptual and abstract skills during his time at the University of Utah’s School of Architecture while remaining grounded in established construction methodologies. Jack understands the balance in architecture between the client's wants and the community's needs and does not shy away from seeking one in the other.
A native of Ringwood in the United Kingdom, Jack moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, at the age of 18 to pursue a degree in Urban Ecology. After graduating in 2019, he worked for Woodbury Corporation as an Architectural Designer before returning to school in 2022 to complete a graduate degree in Architecture. Jack enjoys spending his free time improving skills he finds comfort in, such as baking loaves of sourdough and jogging through Utah scenery.
