I am especially fond of design. From a large building to a small chair, I like to search for the most extraordinary shapes and forms that would make my design a unique proposal. I often study the already built environment as a point of departure and a means of creating something radically new. Among the many options available to me, I am particularly fond of organic forms, the inspiration for which often comes from nature itself, perhaps the most generous of all sources of stimuli for architectural proposals. To complement a cutting edge inspiration, I had to learn new design processes and become proficient in computer-aided design, as it provides for the most efficient tool of bringing an idea to reality. I have had the chance already to test my abilities and sharpen my skills on computer-aided design, both while completing my projects at the university, as well as while working on real-life projects as an Associate Architect. My ambition is high and my motivation is in high gear over the prospect of preparing myself for handling large-scale projects and establishing my own school of style in Architecture.
Architecture is about building for eternity, creating monuments, defying time, enclosing space, taming nature, defining roles, controlling humanity, balancing reason and emotion. Architecture today is reaching for infinity: breaking the rules, embracing nature, letting space, time and emotions flow freely, confusing rather than reassuring us, coalescing past, present and future, even undermining our sense of reality and reason and, above all, of permanence.
The mission of the architect in our society, as she is shaped today, is to comprehend and interpret in the work the needs of the most exigent employer, either it is a simple individual, total of individuals or entire population, to seek, to find and give form in the architectural and urban environment not only in the height of dynamic season where we live, but such that it can teach and inspire us and those that will follow.
