ABOUT ME
SKILL SETS
I am a passionate architecture student trying to excel in this field. I believe in the duty we have to others and the power of architecture as a medium of change in society. I support functional architecture over spectacular architecture, but value the role of innovation and plastic exploration. For me, it is all about "creating space" over creating aesthetics.
