With over twenty years of experience as a practicing architect, Dieter's work and curiosity have led to a broad range of collaborations with media & textile artists, photographers, dance and theatre groups, structural engineers, landscape architects, furniture designers, and graphic designers. These relationships have contributed to a unique expertise in a range of building types and spaces, from cultural and institutional, to transit infrastructure, urban, residential, and exhibition-based spaces.

Dieter joined Diamond Schmitt in 2015 and has been part of the team responsible for the award-winning design for the Senate of Canada Building in Ottawa, as well as the University of Guelph's MacKinnon Building renovation for their College of Arts and IICSI programme.  Dieter is a member of the OAA and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, and a photographer.
