Architecture, to me, is both evidence and emotion — a discipline where precision meets empathy. I work in that delicate overlap, where a drawing is not just a proposal for a building but a proposition for how we might live together. My approach grows from the belief that design must listen before it acts — that communities, climate, and context are not constraints but collaborators.
In my work, evidence-based design and environmental analysis are not technical afterthoughts; they are ethical ones. Each decision, from daylight to material, is a data-informed gesture of care — a way to measure what we owe to the places and people we design for. I am drawn to the kinds of projects that leave quiet legacies: cleaner air, adaptive reuse, a shaded public bench that welcomes someone home.
Through teaching, research, and practice, I explore how community-driven processes can heal the distance between people and their environments. Architecture, at its best, is not the monument but the conversation — a sustained dialogue between human need and planetary resilience. My hope is simple: to help shape a built world that remains generous long after we are gone.
