REFLECTION For the past 3 semesters, I have come the consensus - an Architect’s intent of emotion and experience, becomes the sub-conscious for any individual. This philosophy drives my passion to design for the Health, Safety and Welfare of the People. I aspire to become a contemporary architect, learning from the past, designing in the present, for a better future.
