A Way of Seeing
I am fascinated by the concepts of space and place, particularly the cyclical pattern in which place influences identity, identity shapes ability, and ability, in turn, reinforces place. I love the connection we build to where we are and how it can empower – or strip – who we are and who we think we are. Therefore, we aim to design and construct the architecture of our spaces to reflect externally what we want to see within ourselves.
NOTES
“A prophetic aesthetic calls us to talk about what it means to raise generations of architects with a multicultural sensibility who will think about architecture not just as a profession but who will think about spaces that everyday people inhabit and about our accountability toward making those spaces wonderful and inhabitable space.”
bell hooks, Art on My Mind: Visual Politics
"Aesthetics then is more than a philosophy or theory of art and beauty; it is a way of inhabiting space, a particular location, a way of looking and becoming."
bell hooks, Belonging: A Culture of Place
“Perhaps it is the sense of place that gives us the belief that passionate things*, in some essence, endure.”
