My passion has been to improve human-caused effects on the environments. I carry travel utensils and shopping bags with me everywhere. Hence, adaptive reuse is my main interest in architecture. I study how to revive unused buildings into modern structures, where old meets new in a unity with the surroundings, and to allow the architecture to have a second life.

RISD INTAR Department of Interior Architecture, Bachelors, Interior Architecture
At the intersection of architecture, conservation and design, Interior Architecture takes an innovative approach to the reuse and transformation of existing buildings. Advanced design studios focused on adaptive reuse are central to both the undergraduate and graduate programs. And unlike the fields of interior design and decoration, Interior Architecture looks less at the application of surface materials than at understanding the design of buildings from inside out.
As an enthusiast in sustainability, I chose to study Interior Architecture to focus on reviving old sites and buildings, transforming them into new uses, preserving the historic past, weaving new dialogs into old ones, and reduce the need for land, materials, and resources.
