Architecture, 2021
I got into architecture when I was doing my design diploma in the first year of college, I love how architecture has its practical side and artistic side. I chose architecture since I was impressed by the idea: architects are a group of critical thinkers who make positive impacts on society, good architects know everything a little bit, like art, engineer, sociology and history, and apply them in architecture to benefit people. Out of Architecture, I am also a photographer, I love art, especially visual art. such as painting, photography, films.

Urban sponge
The design intent for this project is to provide porosity and permeability of movement for pedestrians and cyclists in the urban setting. The project is located in the middle of the city, without front or back, the building invites people to approach from various directions. It opens up to all sides, turning its spaces into a part of the urban fabric, integrated into the network of the civic. The strategy of porosity is to re-establish the provision for people to meet, chat, and move across through holes and passages and openings to the sky, light and air.
