MY RESEARCH

</aside>

<aside>

People are the most important thread that connect everything else to make sense…here, I have indulged in topics that understand anthropometry, visual design, and issues pertaining to built and natural environments.

</aside>

<aside>

Places serve as a good documentation of people’s behaviors in the built and natural environment, and how to best harness it for utmost creativity and freedom of expression….topics include urban redesign, policy and placemaking, historic documentation, amongst others.

</aside>

<aside>

Environmental exploration reveals how nature works either in conjunction or against built ambitions…. topics include natural disaster resiliency, emissions analysis, inclusive environments, long-term community planning and more.

“I like reading books in the bulk… Therefore I would ask you to write all kinds of books, hesitating at no subject however trivial or however vast. By hook or by crook, I hope that you will possess yourselves of money enough to travel and to idle, to contemplate the future or the past of the world, to dream over books and loiter at street corners and let the line of thought dip deep into the stream.”

- Extract from A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf
