Housing buildings, modernism in architecture, funcionality vs. aesthetics in architecture, technical details, tradition in nowdays

As i belong from a region where only few people know the term 'Architecture'.I want to get exposure where people knows the worth of Architecture so that when the right time comes i should be able to deliver to my people and help them build there surroundings worth living in.

My bigest aim is to rethink the architectural tradition.

The idea of Kenneth Framptons critical regionalism is close to me.

Architects should give useful answers to the challenge of environmental changes.

Most common projects in my practice: Housing, Schools, Kindergardens, Nurseries, Visitor Centers, Office buldings, Conference Center, Castle restaurations,

I have served in this profession for over a decade as an academacician and have been working as a practicioner in field as well. I have always focused on how bringing nature close to the humans daily activities and spaces by making them part of it as nature has a magical answer for many problems from healing to calmness, from energy saving to mood bootness etc. I belief you can do wonders with it. 

1. the human being is the cause of all the Earth problems, and at the same time, it is the solution to save it.
2. multi-tendency, multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity.
3. contemporary architecture: the creation of sustainable living spaces that meet human needs.
4. architectural heritage as a basis for architectural development.
   Heritage should not be an obstacle in the way of architectural creativity, but an element of inspiration and a lesson from the past.
