During the day I can often be seen drinking a strong coffee namely an espresso, a love affair which first ignited whilst I was studying in Italy, this was an influential period of my academic a personal gestation, which nurtured a greater awareness of the arts and philosophy, and helped to nurture a deep passion for Architecture. I admire the works of Alvaro Siza, Alvar Aalto, Carlos Scarpe, Peter Zumthor, & Herman Herzberger, what I find most interesting about these architects in particular, is their respective approaches to design, the craft that they place upon their architecture, and the ways in which they respond to contextual issues.
