Benjamin Heron
M. Arch, Intern
Benjamin is interested in parametric design and the concept of simplicity out of complexity.''I believe that creativity is part of the heart of human identity. Making and thinking are fundamental elements of what is noble in human nature. The discipline of architecture combines the activities of making and thinking. The rational creator prints the trace of intelligence in the clay of our beautiful earth. My goal in architecture is to improve the material world by making it more beautiful and orderly. I seek to achieve this objective through a balanced and rational design.''
Mohammad Jalal
M. Arch, Intern
Mohammad seeks the balance between the artistic and technical aspects of architecture in creating spaces by composing the contextual layers and trends in industry and technology. I perceive architecture and engineering as instruments through which we sculpt the essence of our environment, or in another perspective, our being. This sculpture can elicit emotional responses and simultaneously meet the needs of users. So, over the years, I have sought to discover different aspects of projects to understand the procedures, from conceptualization to construction." Mohammad, in his continuous evolution, pursues sustainable methodologies to enrich his work and make it respectful of the environment.
