CV
Professional Statement
I am an aspiring architect driven by a conviction in the agency of architecture to create unconventional yet informed solutions to pressing ecological, socio-political and cultural fractures. Moulded by the rigorous, experimental and collaborative framework of The Bar tlett School of Architecture, I consistently apply my creative education across projects spanning scales, stages and systems. I am captivated by the synthesis of material cultures and technological advancements to create sustainable and holistic spaces. I am adept at translating conceptual ideas into a tangible realit y with meticulous attention to detail. I thrive in fast-paced interpersonal environments, and embrace the oppor tunity
.............. 01 - 02
to learn from and question others. I wish to join a progressive and speculative Par t II M.Arch programme suppor ted by world-leading academic exper ts where I can fur ther develop my architectural abilities and make a lasting impact on transformative design proposals.

Eric Parr y Architects, London, Part I Architectural Assistant During my placement at Eric Parr y Architects, I acquired significant experience throughout the stages of the RIBA Plan of Work . I actively par ticipated in the inception and concept stage of competitions and feasibilit y studies ranging from a CLT office building on the peripher y of The Tower of London to a large scale mixed-use high-densit y residential project , where I engaged in client meetings, conducted research and assisted in formulating design strategies. This led to my promotion after 6 months to taking on leading responsibilities in the concept and developed design stages of a residential project in Tokyo, producing plans, sections, renders and details through personal collaboration with local architects. I have visited several active project sites, learning from contractors about how an architects’ drawing is realised into a built asset and the whole life carbon implications of construction. CPDs attended throughout the year have enhanced my understanding of sustainable design techniques and technologies from digital twin modelling to BREEAM standards and their potential applications.
