HELLO! - IT'S HAN
I believe architecture shapes the world around us, and curiosity drives a deep exploration of its many facets. With a passion for improving our environment, I strive to create better places through thoughtful design. My interest lies in concepts and designs that integrate Building Information Modeling (BIM), enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. To me, architecture is more than just concrete walls; it offers the chance to evoke emotions, tell stories, and create spaces of significance in everyday life.
