Architecture - the Union of Place and Person

“Architecture, of all the arts, is the one which acts the most slowly, but the most surely, on the soul” ~ Ernest Dimnet
The fabric of this site is my design theory, architectural works, art, and the visualization of my drive toward human-centered design. The true challenge of any design student is to create a connection between form and human identity. Architecture is a science of shelter, dealing directly with humankind’s survival. Because it is so intertwined with the lives and daily existence of people, architecture as we know it draws from almost every facet of man’s existence, studied through the sciences, arts, and the humanities. Architecture confronts mankind on all levels of his/her conscious experience and existence: spirituality, history, philosophy, his aesthetic experience, and his/her obedience to the physical constructs of our universe. The integrative foundation of the field forms the ideal platform from which we can address the human condition.
