Architecture today needs to use the existing environments as tools to piece together a puzzle to create a better future. I advocate that we, as designers, have an important role in bettering our communities at any scale. [Not only physically, but also socially, environmentally, resiliently, and architecturally] I am dedicated to humanitarian architecture and the manifestation of an improved future through emerging technologies and hard/soft infrastructure systems.
