P20 | Villa Savoye | Le Corbusier's 'Five Points of Architecture' are prominently embodied in this pioneering design, completed in 1931. The use of structural columns instead of load-bearing walls allows for an open, flexible interior layout, exemplifying spatial fluidity. Long horizontal windows seamlessly integrate the structure with its surrounding landscape, enhancing the architectural intrigue through the contrast of rigid and fluid shapes and the play on scale.

V23 | La Lonja de la Seda | This structure beautifully blends Gothic and Renaissance elements, with intricate carvings and an architectural balance using 'heavier' architectural elements, notably its stairs and roofline. The architectural precision contrasts with the organic natural landscaping of the serene Patio de los Naranjos (Orange Tree Courtyard).

WHY DO I SHOW B&W ALONGSIDE FULL COLOUR PHOTOGRAPHS?
Perspectives have always intrigued me - people perceive things differently, and I love architecture's ability to evoke emotions and create memorable experiences. I showcase both black and white and colour photographs to illustrate the full range of architectural experiences and the evolution of my design philosophy.
During my early academic years, I was captivated by high contrast black and white photography. It enabled me to explore the dynamic interplay of light and shadow within architectural forms, capturing striking visual contrasts. I was particularly drawn to the inherent patterns, repetitions, and geometries present in architecture and the layout of its spaces. I focused on understanding architecture in a pragmatic sense, placing importance on dissecting the design choices of the architect's & designers.
As my journey progressed, I discovered a profound appreciation for colour photographs. They capture the ephemeral nature of architectural design by breathing life into each photograph. Colours introduce realism, showcasing how light and colour work together to shape vibrant environments and evoke various emotions. By examining how spaces are lived in, colour photographs reveal new perspectives, uncovering broader implications and design nuances that may not have been initially anticipated by the designer.
People are creative and unpredictable, often defying conventional rules. This unpredictability is crucial in people-led projects, where understanding the user or inhabitant is key to good design. By putting myself in their shoes, I aim to create empathetic and impactful designs.
