sustainable architecture /energy management in building

To me, architecture is not merely an art of creating beautiful buildings. It is the context, both cultural and social, as well as social and environmental responsiveness that makes or breaks it.

Working to serve communities who can benefit the most from thoughtful and efficient research + design yet have the least access to it. Through my work, which includes small scale experimental projects and public space installations, I advocate for spatial justice in the pursuit of inclusive and resilient cities and communities.

I make spaces and places with an emphasis on color, texture, and form.

“Recognizing the need is the primary condition for design.”

L'architettura è una specie di oratoria della potenza per mezzo delle forme.
