You need to believe that there are nameless heroes among us. They don’t have superpowers, they do not have gears to suit up, but they face the problem and deal with them with their thoughts and drawings.
I am one of them, but I am one of the kind.
Welcome to my DESIGN ARCHIVE, a curated collection showcasing the culmination of three years of projects during my time at SCI-Arc, delving deep into fundamental architectural studies. At the core of this journey lies a profound exploration of geometric principles, serving as the foundational point for generating innovative forms.
Throughout my academic pursuit, these geometric principles evolved from mere compositional elements into a nexus connecting visual, cultural, and practical studies, thereby addressing intricate architectural challenges.
In the ever-evolving landscape of design, propelled by the advancements in digital tools and technologies, I've witnessed a remarkable shift. Basic geometries now transcend their conventional boundaries, morphing into intricate and multifaceted forms. This transformation from shape to architectural elements, fueled by sophisticated digital methodologies, imbues each architectural creation with a distinctive character.
With three years of dedicated graduate school study and subsequent years of professional practice, my focus has been on mastering the intricacies of digital complexity inherent in every project. Proficiency in digital tools such as coding and modeling has enabled me to treat geometric relationships as a syntax, shaping my approach to design. Exploring the seamless fusion of physical and digital realms has emerged as a critical aspect of my creative process.
To me, digital tools are more than mere instruments; they embody a unique way of thinking and expressing ideas. As I unravel the minutiae and tectonic intricacies during the architectural design process, it becomes evident that the artistry extends beyond sketches and renders on paper. It engages with the tangible realm, addressing materiality and construction intricacies in the real world.
