Architecture is a problem-solving art which molds forms with an idea,
the anxiety of aesthetic and
the knowledge of material.

From my perspective, architecture is a problem-solving art which molds forms with an idea, the anxiety of aesthetic and the knowledge of material.

I prefer lines to words as a means of expression.

Drawing is how I learn, observe, and communicate my ideas. Using pen, pencil, and watercolor, I translate my impressions into visual narratives.

Sketching is my primary medium. My works are inspired by places I visit, moments I experience, and photographs I capture. Each sketch reflects a direct encounter with architecture and the surrounding environment.

I am interested in preserving the essence of a moment through architectural sketching, transforming personal impressions into artistic compositions. Through line, color, and form, I seek to convey the character, atmosphere, and spirit of a place.

"Dream boldly. Build beautifully."

Hey architects, there is NO architecture anymore.
There is a collaboration!

Where are my pens, pencils, and papers?
Oh, here they are: Ps, Ai, Id, Autocad, Revit, sketchup and Rhino, among others…Wait a minute! The holy computer is whispering to me; clicking the mouse at me, click! click! click!

-To draw, to produce, to envision, to use creativity. Hey! Hold on, damn it! Should I have saved all my files before the review, the final or did I back them up?

OMG, I think I got a virus… A ton of stuff like this, with which designers struggle, today, is inevitable, unfortunately. So, the fiend of the new era is a gigantic digital world in which everything comes with pixels or vectors. The architectural field has succumbed to this, as well. Parametricism has led designers to opening the door to this world. Thanks to BIM and a lot of software, there are a great deal of not only hermetic designs, which have taken hold of humankind’s creativity and traded penciled lines for copy and paste, hiding lines which will never be discovered. At the end of the day, everything in this field boils down to zeroes and ones, whether it be a 300-million dollar tower, or merely a bus stop.
