Objective I seek to understand the emotions a space can evoke in a person in order to recreate these reactions in my own work. Being able to communicate a design to a client through sketching is fundamental in becoming a successful architect, such is the criticality of strong client relationships by managing expectations. I will continue to improve these skills, along with others, to prepare myself for the Part 3 qualification.
