About Me

Art has always been my true passion same as architecture. With a desire to explore how architecture can be used to improve the performance of buildings both socially and environmentally, architecture has brought out the dichotomy of my personality, allowing me to engage both creatively and scientifically with the aesthetic and functional aspects of design.

One of the reason, I am pursuing architecture as a profession because I see it as a career path where the two meet. Alvar Aalto said, “Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking, but all in harmony together.” The desire to make the world a better place for people to live in has been the greatest influence in my pursuit of architecture as a profession.

Nevertheless, I’m grateful to have this opportunity to combine my love for art and design with a career related first in a once lifetime. Last year, I have worked in a small- scale architecture firm. Through my work experience as an intern, I've come to realize that architecture is a bridge between imagination, reality, creativity. I've learned that no successful project emerges from a singular idea or person. Relatively, it requires communication with a team member such as engineers, contractors, consultants, and the craftsmen who achieve the greatest possible effect throughout the project.

To conclude, the four-year of study is no longer a process of knowledge growth, but it also a starting journey as well. No matter what I have learned about idea, model-making, or understanding the architectural thoughts through experimenting. As a designer, I constantly find delight in study and a passion for creation.
