[Personal Statement]
[d e . s i g n]
to create; to sustain
a high quality of life
In this time of rapid environmental degradation, it is imperative that we as
architects, begin to generate new methods of systems thinking and
integrated building analysis to create healthy, productive built
environments that enrich occupants’ lifestyles and strengthen their inherent
belonging to the natural world.
I define design as the creation of a built environment that is closely integrated
with its climatic context and sustains a high quality of life for its occupants.
This body of work illustrates a framework of my skills and passion within a
design background pursuing numerous facets of sustainability including :
-[environmental sustainability]: energy consumption + carbon footprint
-[economic sustainability]: cost effectivity + life cycle analysis
-[social sustainability]: occupant comfort + setting for productivity + quality of life .
