TIMELINE
Through local, regional, and global scale applications, I wish to promote prosperity for the community through public oriented design. I invest attention to research and analysis of a design subject in order to highlight its specific, unique characterisics in order for the project to manifest itself in its context and amplify its contribution to the community. My interest in the architecture of health and wellness derives from my goal to enhance lifestyles of the community and to realize their dreams as well as my own. Health and wellness means having the ability to venjoy the “extraordinary� in life and I seek to pursue bringing that experience of the built environment to the community through architecture.
we take something ordinary and elevate it to something extraordinary.” samuel “sambo” mockbee architect
