ARCHITECT
Artistic expression of design and program
I see architecture, in the creation of space, as the result of the balance between the artistic expression of design and its intended function. It is the incessant interaction in finding this answer, which serves not only as a starting point, but as a methodology for architectural practice for any project.
If in architecture we have the human body as the basic element of dimensioning and proportionality of spaces, I believe that its experience and awakening of emotions are the fundamental factors that the program must observe. Function must be more than a description of physical needs, but must incorporate sensations of being in space and time.
