Architecture is not a static field of study. In education, each semester brings a project that spans four to five months. By nature, such projects are always evolving and never cease to grow, even at the end of the formal project sequence. We are always told to never stop, never give up, and always look back. The first semester of my architectural education, we were warned to never lose sight of the fundamentals of design. It has been my endeavor over the past three years to maintain rigor of process and clarity of design by building upon these fundamentals and adding to my “toolbox” of architectural and artistic knowledge.
Architecture is not an isolated field of study. We cannot take architecture and society as separate, nor can we assume that architecture is disjoint from those that would occupy the spaces that we strive to create. Architecture is meant to be a destination – it should engage the occupants. It should be pleasant to experience. It should be practical. Architecture is both a place and a space, which means that it must meet the needs of its users as well as the aesthetic standards of its designers.
Architecture is a journey. it does not begin with a sketch, and it does not end with a review or a constructed project. It is a way of thinking, and the challenge is portraying that. This website and portfolio serves to showcase a selection of my work from my architecture education. These projects are taken from a selection of levels, including process and group work as well as individual projects and final products, inasmuch as any project is ever “final."
