As an architect with a positive view of the future of architecture and the impact of architecture on the quality of social and political life of society, I am trying and researching to advance this issue and certainly the best thing an architect can do is anticipate and create a positive gap in This is the path. And that effect doesn't need to be built, even with talking about this mindset or even the exhibition for the general public.

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

A real building is one on which the eye can light and stay.

Architecture that respects its Context and Region. Architecture that is sustainable and environmentally friendly. Architecture that is equitable and promotes human wellbeing and happiness.

My architectural focus is on concept development and choice of materials.
