”Design is who I am. I define Design as a word, which associates with passion, talent, and knowledge. This could be thought as a driving force to Architecture and Design today. I feel that Architecture and Design should ask questions because they will talk about issues that most people don’t want to talk about. Therefore, when I design I think of it as a long-term engagement because I want my designs to be connected to the people through interaction.”
