“Buildings should be good neighbours.” – Paul Thiry
Dione Wee Yu Jing Singapore 29.01.1992; 23 years old dione_wee@hotmail.com +65 90401129 I am a person who believes that experience is the key to learning. I think learning the theory is one way of experiencing, however, i am very much a ‘hands-on’ person, i learn faster when i actually practice it. Hence, i always seek to go beyond the classroom to feel, touch and see what the outside has to offer.
