What Must It Be Like…
It all begins with an idea.
What must it be like, to design spaces, to design what Minsuh Cho describes as a part of the larger act that is in between many before’s and after’s. Designing atmospheres that are only perceptible with your entire body’s presence. To dream, to inspire and create visions for better futures. Architecture has this magical ability to attract and convene, to equalize individuals, to serve the common, to be spiritual and healing, to be a refuge physically and emotionally. To be an architect is even more beautiful. To be an architect is to absorb knowledge, to enter into dialogue, to listen and be open to learn from all different sorts of sources. To philosophise, to be an artist, ecologist, musician, composer, to assert meaning, to facilitate ideas and to make a leap of faith and inspire people to build something of value and beauty. Space and place is composed, understood, supported, nurtured, catered to, elevated, protected, designed, built, envisioned. And so much more I am yet to discover and learn. I want to move people, or someone through a designed space. Much like how music or art fills space with meaning.

The Past and Now
It all begins with an idea.
The Past often inspires the Now. It’s often you travel and take pictures of things, that at the time strike you, when later you come to realise what it means to you. This is how this study started. Inspired by the master sculpture Gustav Vigeland’s ‘Monolitten’ in Vigeland Park in Oslo, Norway.
