The foundation in architectural studies furthered his interest in the urban fabric and the art of the edifice.

Dudley Mack was born in Balcarres, Saskatchewan, a farming community of less than 800 people, one hour east of Regina. He began his formal education by attending the University of Saskatchewan studying Engineering. His interest in mechanical engineering was to understand and satiate his curiosity of the built environment and the intricacies of how things are built.

After a year of study at the University of Saskatchewan, Dudley refined his area of interest of the built environment by obtaining his Bachelor of Arts in Urban Planning at Ryerson University in 1991. While at Ryerson, he developed a keen interest in social planning, urban design, and architectural preservation.

Later in 1995, he obtained an undergraduate degree in Art History at the University of Toronto, majoring in Architectural History. Although well founded in academia, he developed design and graphic skills through formal training and work experience. He has attended Ontario College of Art and Design, taking several courses in drawing. He also obtained a Multi-media certificate from The Hoffman Institute in New Media Design and CD authoring. He further developed graphic design, web design and programming skills at Centennial College in Toronto, and by working at Fentress Bradburn Architects from 1999-2001, Dudley developed his expertise.

Dudley is currently studying Furniture Design at Sheridan College, graduating in the spring of 2009.
