Good buildings build people, and shape lives. While the built form is designed to protect its occupants from the forces of nature, it is also designed to harmonise and connect occupants with nature anew. Thus, the genesis of my projects are often inspired by nature, being something universally beautiful and relatable to all of mankind. In theory good architecture completes nature and enhances it. As renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright once said “The good building is not one that hurts the landscape, but one which makes the landscape more beautiful than it was before the building was built”.
To leave a lasting impression on this world is a privilege, and architects are gifted with this opportunity every day. This is why I wish to pursue a career in architecture; architects have the ability to change the course of someone’s life, purely with what their mind imagines. It is likely we spend almost 90% of our life indoors…and so our indoor environment greatly affects our lives.
