My work is guided by the discourse architectural form has with its environment, be it human or non-human, in the creation of novel spaces that represent the individuality of each new condition.
Through the act of place making I believe we as architects can give birth to profound intangible existences which can blend into its environment by evolving the existing order.
Constantly there will be a movement of ideas that will make architecture change society and society change architecture. My purpose is to be an active agent when either of these takes place.

“Fifteen years ago, Nobel Laureate Paul Crutzen announced that the world had entered a new geological age, the Anthropocene, marking a fundamental shift in human-nonhuman relations and the onset of a new period of environmental anxiety and existential uncertainty. Geofutures speculates on the future of architecture and urbanism in the Anthropocene by suggesting that the “built environment” embark on establishing new affiliations beyond the human; a fundamental realignment of buildings and cities as no longer significant for “us” alone.” (Chris Perry, Director)
