archsynth@gmail.com Profile & Skills
I am an intern architect with a focus in landscape urbanism. I am interested in the relationship between landscape, infrastructure and public space, and how these are essential to contextdriven architecture. I am passionate about building positive natural connections in urban settings. I have 2 years of professional experience in concept design, visualisation, drawing and detailing using RHINO, V-RAY, AUTOCAD, and ADOBE CS5. I have worked on projects at multiple scales, from furniture to master planning.
