SUMMATION
My life-long aspiration is to become an Architect with specialization in high-rise, large scale architectural projects which vary from commercial, residential and civic functions. This equally matches my desire to become an Urban Planner/Designer with a goal to redevelop urban zones that raise quality of urban life and reinforce sustainable redevelopment and civic identity.
