Hobbies

What is architecture? This question has led to this personal statement which derives itself through various facets of architecture to which I was exposed over my 7 years of studying this broad subject. I’d like to quote myself here “Everything has an age, a story attached to it and architecture is the kaleidoscope to that view.”

Through the first three years of architecture the fundamentals of design seeped through the creative aspirations making the foundation of architectural design clear in form of principles of design, interior design, landscape design and working drawings. The progressive years of my bachelors introduced me to the realistic and large scale expressions of architecture like town planning, cost and construction management, material technology and professional practice which led to a want to understand this field in a magnified scope. This aspiration to understand the wide spectrum of architecture fused with the age of digital architecture led me to pursue computational design. Whilst concluding this i would like to state that architecture is a statement of my individual artistic expression where i would like to use computation as a tool to highlight my design inturn to ehance the user experience.
