I try to look at and experience as much as I can - from photography and furniture to landscape architecture, to traveling. Architects Peter Zumthor , Terunobu Fujimori , Tham & Videgard and American artist Robert Irwin are the people that I keep coming back to.
What is your design philosophy?
Im not sure I can sum it up just as yet- I think that will come with more time and experience. Sustainability and responsibility are basic design principles, and as part of that, my own work more and more, seems to include the construction of the design as part of the conceptual approach itself. I think this approach has the ability to give a material a whole new purpose beyond its natural characteristics. I think a designers skill at construction should guide the essence of the design.
What area of design would you like to work in upon graduating from DCE?
Im interested in most areas, in particular residential, community based, or adaptive re-use/ restoration work. I would like to be part of a design collective who have an interest in developing other areas of design such as furniture, lighting and conceptual works as part of the process. It’s difficult to say at this stage there are so many avenues, but I’m open to all options so we will see….
