In architecture, we meticulously design our approach, continuously refining it. When we create a project, we observe everything through the lens of multiple disciplines. I don’t view architecture solely from a creative standpoint—it’s impossible to measure the final outcome with standard systems. Architecture is an elusive concept, with unclear boundaries; it deeply intertwines with our lives. On a larger scale, it shapes citizens’ thinking. On a personal level, it directly influences habits, needs, and opinions on various concepts. Our design process begins with the basics—cubes, walls, and overlaps. From there, we map out processes, create mind maps, and examine the tasks from different perspectives. It’s akin to creating scenarios for films, where clear rules govern human perception. We don’t just place brick by brick, but place bricks in a way that transforms a natural condition into a cultural one. This, in essence, bears the spirit of humanity. In my view, architecture is the act of defining the boundary between the inside and outside, the earth and sky, the finite space and the immensity that surrounds it. It’s expressed in the act of tracing a perimeter, an anthropological gesture that establishes a microcosm, a space controlled by humans, juxtaposed with the infinite macrocosm of nature.

I believe that only by building clear, decisive structures or models can we truly understand what we are dealing with. We must also view architecture within a temporal context—what was desired yesterday, planned today, built tomorrow, and managed the day after. It is essential to understand how to create structures that remain relevant for at least 10 to 20 years. I am convinced that architecture, as a form of communication, records the traces of an era. For me, architecture and interior design are science-crafts that respond to elements related to human behaviors and space. Architecture aims to improve human activity, foster social interaction, and provide meaningful interpretations of context, all through the creative intellect of the architect. In its essence, architecture transforms and defines the habitat for human experiences, growth, and achievements. But above all, through careful study, there must be an appreciation of architecture’s long-term significance as a discipline to be lived and appreciated. Whether formal or functional, technological or economic, contextual or abstract, architecture is, in my opinion, a formula of many components. These components come together under the guiding hand of the architect, acting as a catalyst.
