Part II Architectural Designer

About

From an early age, I have shown a creative passion for designing and building structures of any form. As a child, I would assemble and design famous architecture using any material available. I found the challenge of making the structures durable intriguing. Ensuring that readily available materials were only used was imperative and this philosophy has stood by me. This nurtured me to become detail oriented and focused.

Architecture education has encouraged me to design proposals that consider cultural and social issues of the users. This cultivated desire to improve the local area and enhance the lives of the residents. I am fond of proposals that are delicate to their local context and involve the collaboration of immediate businesses.

My approach to architecture focuses on designing the urban environment through process of analysing the areas qualities, layers, and historical past. From this, unique elements can be formed.
