It is my firm belief that in order to be a successful architect one must engage in role play by imagining the distance between structures, the angle at which sunlight is intended to cover a building, the place a project holds in the skyline, and the admirable shadowed silhouette a structure casts in the twilight. For the purpose that it is intended, I believe it is fair to say that architecture is an art that may be used to express oneself, however there exist strict technical standards that must be abided by in order for one’s work to be fully understood.

Architecture is a language with a set of rules as any other, and as such the symbols used in architecture are to perpetually remain constant while the ideas being expressed by the language of architecture never cease to change. In order to see a model constructed, one must speak the language of architecture by taking advantage of its technical foundation so that if one were to create a scaled architectural drawing of a building, it would be identical to that of any other architect.

It has been my personal privilege to have been able to challenge many of the subtle confines of the field of architecture in proposed designs, and to have evaluated public space with potential for change in the community to which it belonged in completed assignments. In accordance with the flexible nature of the field, I have be able to exercise the opportunity to work with new materials, experiment with irregular shapes, reinvent asymmetric forms, and imagine the effect an idea would prospectively have on the environment in question in every project that I had come to devote my time to.

Hence, the works I have produced thus far in my time experiencing the flexibility and communicative potential of the art of architecture serve as appropriate examples of what I understand to be “contained creativity,” artistic expression with a certain consciousness of realism and dimensionality, of function and practicality.
