About 

My current interest in architectural design involves pursuing building technologies and systems integration for the Public Interest. This entails the confluence of passive and active design methods to create healthier, more creative, and more sustainable built environments that caters to "Designing for the other 98%", culminating in the advocacy of the triple-bottom line approach to architectural practice; social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
