The following collection of works being presented here has been influenced by many own experience from the projects done during my professional practice in BNA. Thank you in advance for taking time to go through it.
The experience has offered me a coherent approach to many design challenges and a clearer understanding of the tools and theories used in the process. Each project is approached by mediating between advanced digital mediums and physical craft to the arrive at an immaginative outcome regarding the economies and site context.
My goal is to continue to pursue these new ideas and possibilities through involvement in the real world experiences. To utilize an open mind is crucial as exposure to trends and issues in design are persistently influencing my perception of architecture. Continuing my real world experience is necessary to prepare me to take leadership role in shaping the built environment, promoting practical experience and improve the living conditions of the community around the world.
The architecture presented is a projection of ideas existing within the mind. It exemplifies my understanding of architecture, revealing how I have overcome the interplay between thinking and making an interwined entity.
