Introducing Edward Love, recipient of a $2,000 ACE Scholarship, and a creative visionary on his way to the Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University. A graduating senior at Mastery Hardy Williams Charter High School, Edward’s passion for design is fueled by sketching, sculpting, and artistic exploration — all of which he plans to channel into an architecture career centered on sustainability, innovation, and social impact. Originally from Newark, NJ and now rooted in Philadelphia, Edward’s journey is one of transformation, perseverance, and purpose.
“My time in ACE from 2023 to 2025 has taught me three things that make an architect: innovation, patience, and collaboration,” he shares. With a clear vision of using architecture to improve urban, suburban, and rural communities alike, Edward is committed to inspiring the next generation of creators and change-makers. From clay to construction, his designs are built to uplift.
