CV AND ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
Architecture is more about the felt aura than just visuals. An architect’s duty is to create a space that welcomes and cherishes everyone. To me great architecture is a play of all five senses. My learnings through these three years have allowed me to grow and review upon the notion of architecture not only as a built structure but as expressing oneself as an artist understanding his soul.
My experience and the specific skills I have honed thus far include project management with emphasis on creativity and exploration, team building, and project development.
This been evident in my portfolio consisting of design projects from my fifth semester. I am looking for the postion of Architecture Intern in July 2023, being my intership semester then.
