Ice-breaker -The essences of this transition from architecture to human -centric approach to urban design .

Hello! I’m deeply passionate about creativity, considering it more than just a career possibility. In my practical training, I’ve addressed gaps by exploring various methods. Studying individual building forms sparked my interest in examining them within their urban, social , and environmental context. For instance, I’m intrigued by the idea of conducting studies on a prime commercial node of a city, analysing traffic patterns, built forms, and user experiences .

My journey in architectural has evolved from monotonous models to self-conceptualised designs. The emphasis shifted to the building form, moving beyond sharp rectangles to three-dimensional structure influenced by lessons from Basic to Architectural Design classes. I’m excited to explore the connections between architecture, creativity and urban design .

 In architecture my path  has been a fascinating evolution from crafting individual building forms to aspiring to become a designer at the urban scale .Initially captivated by the intricacies of building design However , my curiosity expanded beyond the physical structure to explore the broader context of the urban settings, social dynamics, and environmental considerations.

Urban design is a multiciliary field focused on shaping the physical and social aspects of cities and urban areas. It is involves the planning and organization of the built environment, including the arrangement of building ,public spaces , transportation systems, and infrastructure. The goal of urban designs is to  create functional , aesthetically pleasing , and sustainable urban spaces that enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors . It considers factors such as land use, connectivity , accessibility, environments. Urban designers work  collaboratively with architects, planners, and various stakeholders to develop comprehensive plans that address the complex challenges of urban development and contribute to the overall success and vitality of cities .
