Architecture is a unique field that allows us to create spaces that can be enjoyed by hundreds and that tell a story about our place in time. While creating buildings for our society I want to learn ways of incorporating design and culture that respects existing buildings and traditions.
I also want to create spaces that inspire and astonish others as I have been astonished in my travels to the pyramids of Palenque in Chiapas, the Coliseum in Rome, and Forbidden City in China.
I believe in a commitment to design that is responsible to our environment and humanity. My goal is to design buildings that not necessarily mimic existing structures but rather complement and elaborate on the existing culture of development.
I believe in designing intelligent, high performance, and sustainable buildings that minimize our footprint.
