Brief description

Architecture affords meeting with new possibilities. Meeting is not limited to contact with new dwellers, users, and carpenters, but also to understand regional building codes, specific economical and environmental conditions.

I appreciate these aspects as positive design constrains that leads to new architectural possibilities. Since architecture is made out of a wide assortment of elements, someone’s only intentions are not enogh to create. As the beginning of life starts from accidental nature or causes, what I do as an architect is simply assist a birth of architecture with clients.
