Thinking about a new project and you don't know hot to get started?
Do you have an idea of a development but you're not quite sure how to get it through?

Let's find a solution together! I am an architecture grad with award winning skills in architecture design and urban planing. I can help with counseling on various fields indispensable to a complete architecture project:
- urban study -> how to analyze and understand you surroundings
- social context -> let's make it work for everyone, we don't want to be a pain for the community now, don't we?
- historical context and references -> if you wish to make progress, you have to know your past. Curious about what historians and academics have to say?
- concept work -> what is the meaning of life? of you project that is
- structural design -> just enough to make it stand, even during mother nature's worst
- choosing the materials -> wood, brick, stone, metal, concrete, so, many options....
- drawing and detailing -> not enough if it's all in your head, eh? builders have to read it and so do your friends and teachers
- visualizations -> 3D renderings for a jaw dropping effect

Think you need some of these? Check the course up! Let's design our cities better !! :)
