“The Design of a building is a response to several constraints and opportunities presented by an individual site and its program.
In addition to the pragmatic resolution, there is the artistic side of it which will make people relate to it.
Being functional alone won’t suffice.
My interest in architecture comes from the perfect fusion of arts and problem solving, and the balance between both.”
