I believe architecture is a life-centered discipline. It transcends the mere creation of a building and focuses on how spaces can serve and enhance the lives of the people who occupy them. Beyond human life, architecture should also foster a harmonious relationship with the environment that sustains it. Architecture should be responsive to the aspirations, behaviors, and values of its individual users and its environmental context. “Good” architecture should strive to leave a positive impact on all life that it touches, and this belief drives my work each day.
