Architecture, construction and materials

On my career and so far , I always focused on the relation between design and reality. How to create something from nothing and in the same time based on strong and clear principles. functionality, structure, integration and materiality...

All those principles help us as people to build this special relation with spaces and places.

And provide us as architects with an infinite ways to create our masterpieces.

Certified Examiner 

It is very important, before a person begins to plan for the implementation of any building, that all the surrounding natural influences are evaluated from the topography, green areas, customs, traditions, climate and other features that will affect the determination of the most appropriate elements of the building, such as geographical orientation, geometric shape, materials used, openings, etc.
