Author Statement

My work is centered on architecture as a conceptual and operational structure. I design from the idea rather than from form, treating each project as an open system capable of adaptation, growth, and collective appropriation. I am interested in architecture that organizes complexity, constructs meaning through order, and remains relevant over time.
