STATEMENT Architecture, with its very nature of creativity and richest ideas built into spaces, is an excursion full of human experiences, manifesting humankind’s identity, our physicality and our spiritual energy. The phenomenon it creates- the space and its sensorial qualities, bring us to the sense of memories and emotions, expected or unexpected, every time we dwell in it. Its intentions- those values that are materialized in the body of tangible forms, emphasized the existence of forces that impact and informs us, over what did happen, what is going on and what will take place. It is architecture that reveals so much about ourselves- the way we create the world is how we question about it. In my design, I try to examine that idea through a set of thoughts, focusing on conceptual strategies as [mind] and practical solution as [body] to explore the idea of the symbiotic relationships in architecture. My goal is to create places full of atmosphere where conversations of human to human, of human to buildings, of human to nature happen. My idea is to emphasize the existence of human, building, and environment as integral elements contributing to the design. I attempt to create the influence of human behavior and psychological impact toward their built environment, through monumental space manipulated from sculptural forms, beautiful materials and natural elements with contradiction and harmony. Over the physical presence of matter comes the sense of cognitive subjects. I desire to continue to explore architecture’s unique abilities with the consideration of places, human experience, culture and community. I’m excited to look to the future and the story of humankind that I’m part of, in the field of design and academia.
