1. What are the main themes and main goals of your work?

The main theme is to react to the world.

My work should be attuned with what goes on around human world.

I want to discover new concepts of architecture that merely not just a hedonist, narcissistic, unconditional desire, as in fashion, but over and above that is the ability to make the most of on what it is that shifts in society and in the thinking on society.

Designing is thinking. It is not just visualizing something that goes with what you are drawing, but much rather like rendering by drawing what I visualize. Other than that, it is also about organizing my imagination energy with maximum efficiency.

2. Questions that I ask and seek to answer through my works

• Functional aspects (accessibility, effectiveness, ergonomic safety, spatial orientation, territoriality, privacy and social contact, physical well-being (light, sound, temperature, draft, humidity), potential for change/flexibility/ adaptability.

• Aesthetic aspects (quality of image, beauty, originality, order and complexity, representation, cultural-historical value, meaning)

• Technical aspects (fire security, constructive safety, material-physical quality, environmental safety)

• Economical aspects (budget, cost of investment, running cost, time investments and time planning)

3. My approach.

• Low-Cost Construction

A true definition of Low-Cost Construction is not about how much is the total money that you spend but it is about COMPARISON of the expenditure and benefit that you gain (Cost and Benefit Rate)

• Architecture design is a fruit of communication between the designer, builder and the client. This collaboration will determine whether it is going to be a successful project or not. That is why I open up my self to recognize the team and client's character.

• Collaborative Creative, Imaginative, Humorous Approach

All design case /project will have creative and imaginative approach. The design process and construction will be a fun ride through various media, sketch, models, 3-dimension illustration, review, reports and stories.

• Taking inspiration from nature and daily life

Design approached through observation and architect's sensitivity of human existence in its relation with the nature.

• Personal approach

Architect believe that personal events, anecdotes, passion, urge for survival, dreams or even nightmares, they all contributing greatly to ‘quality' and creative products.
