“The best thing about architecture is seeing people enjoy the spaces I have created through many dreams and hours of hard work. At the end of the day, those spaces are always with me, through my memory… Another beautiful thing about architecture is seeing how the project grows day by day, until finally being completed. Giving me the satisfaction to create the spaces where living beings are going to use every single day… For many, many years to come. That, to me, is the true meaning of architecture.”
