Architecture never fails to remind me of how incredibly powerful, precarious, and boundless it is to be a conscious human being. Through architecture, intangible ideas, imagination, and conviction may be constructed and explored in reality. Architecture is a means of advancing ideas, perpetuating understandings, and inciting revelations. I understand architecture to be an intervention that resonates through the spaces and people that it occupies as well as the world and the society in which it is conceived. Through the composition of tectonics, I an able to materialize not only objects to be seen, experienced, and remembered, but entire worlds for people to find sanctuary, to depend on, and to flourish. This portfolio illustrates an exploration of strategy and techinique in the resolution of design problems in architecture throughout my undergraduate studies.
