Architecture / Renovation
My aspiration for architectural practice is based on admiration of life. In this regard my design comes from the inside out. The shape of the building will be determined according to the life of people and their activities. This process is something important I learned from making sculptures, letting the spirit guide to manifest a form. Life and soul have to be felt from the shape of the building. The shape should not be an external imposition. I believe this is where design becomes art and art meets design. – JNE
