1. Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your design background.

3. Tell us more about your agency/company, job profile, and what you do.

In site plans, I always look for solutions that full relationship with everyday objects. Geometric tools become possible in terms of productibility and focus primarily on detailed gestures for impact. When times of reducing axis in size, amount, or extent by a cautious selection of steps. Organising project objectives with stakeholders by scheduling, assembling, and publishing.

4. What does “design” mean to you?

To me design would be the decision making, perhaps even reflecting the idea of the notion. The idea is to turn them and make them into something symbolic.

5. What’s your favorite kind of design and why?

My kind of design would be making designs that reflect the idea and solution I need. The objective of my project was to find ways to provide ordering through exhibition work. So with the recently awarded artworks, I could now separate my previous projections and exhibitions, making this project a possible way to provide ordering of my product.

6. To you, what makes a “good” design?

A good design requires it to be symbolic, and iconic, in essence coming from a complicated contribution of the environment.

7. How did you come up with the idea for your award-winning design?

My inspiration came from replicas of books which were in concrete forms.

8. What was your main source of inspiration for this design?

The representation of related diagrams. The crucial element of HAIES interacts with the viewer's inward reference to systems.

9. Do you think your country and its cultural heritage has an impact on your design process?

The context between the movements and contact of the material often involved my thoughts and experiences as a designer and part artist. HAIES is represented by its balance, logic, and simplicity in its modular design.

12. What were the main challenges you faced during the design process, and how did you overcome them?

For the design of the project, I took into account the type of existing architecture, integrating as much as possible the open space structure with the environment. This project is about interpersonal interaction.

The landscape, the scales, and the structures.
