Living in Miami, I am inspired by the diversity, which led me to study abroad throughout Europe and Japan. Urban-ism, I noticed, became an issue of subtle insertions in a restructured condition, emphasizing current cultural agendas. The cities were organized by their culture, people, and boundaries. People live where their culture can be magnified and expressed, which was significantly evident in cities with various layers of urban-ism. An exchange within those layers results in a constant dialogue between person to person, and eventually develops to the scale of cities and countries. It is the constant exchange of personal ideas that influences the development of architecture on a multitude of scales. Architecture provides a way to configure these cultural conditions among the urban fabric. With every design comes the opportunity to change how people live, work, eat, play, etc. Design offers me the opportunity to change, innovate, and inspire cities, working with architecture on a personal level.
