Why did you choose to study architecture?
There’s two main drivers behind my choice for architecture. In high school I decided I wanted to work in a profession with a positive impact, but coming from an artistic background, I also needed a strong creative aspect. At that time, I thought architecture was a very interesting combination. What you build needs to be relevant for a long time, and I cannot escape responsibility for what I design and realize. I remember that my interest for architects those days were Konstantin Melnikov and Theo Wijdeveld who became the face of the transition of society in the beginning of the 20th century. Wijdeveld s international exchanges and cross-disciplinary work also intrigued me, in addition to his famous magazine Wendingen.

There is not enough that can be said about the benefits of incorporating plants in interiors or
Plantscaping. Integrating vegetation indoors serves many purposes whether practical, aesthetic or psychological. Although there are basic requirements for incorporating greenery into Homes, well thought out plant selections and placements are characteristically different across the world. By going over recent interior works, a few recurrent plantscaping design patterns arose, each reflective of distinctive climates, building styles and traditional building techniques.
While the type of the chosen plants varies depending on favorable conditions for growth and local availability, the main distinctions are related to the direct environment and display method in which the vegetation is set, as well as its intended purpose. While plants are there to offer mental wellness to some, they are essential for cooling to other or could even be meant for small scale farming.
