Throughout my Academic & Professional Careers I came in touch with Architecture in its beautiful complexities, I have found that Architecture has a philosophy, Ideas and theories, its a third skin, it responds and adapts to human needs, as well as reacts to global events, in times it can be a very technical profession, it involves people skills, business and management, and builds on team work and interdisciplinary, collective efforts. Other times it can be very innovative, imaginative and Aesthetic, also constantly challenging to our intelligence and problem solving skills. I am passionate, discerning and hardworking, and I will always strive to live up to being an Architect.
