The importance of weaving a building with its contextual language and responding to the rhythm of patterned human activity is a trait I value, as design changes and evolves with us. I have aims to explore designs in sync with technological progression and schemes that are adaptable to our future needs, striving to further discover the potentiality of impactful positive spaces.

work experience

No matter where are located, we can draw inspiration from different theories and forms of architecture and utilise it in the future. It’s connection to our past I find that is at the core of designing for future urbanism and globalization.
