DATA COLLECTION

DATA PROCESSING

Every place can be different for everyone, it’s the culture and meaning behind it that matters and makes it special and unique for every one.  It is not only the place, it is also the experience.

As an architect I have to design the space in relation with local dynamics and necessity, trying to involve in to the process who will use this space.

DATA TESTING

HYPOTHESIS
