DescriptionThe Background Design

of this portfolio reflects the pieces

of knowledge and experience accumulated

over time. Knowledge stems from different backgrounds and are

different in shape and form. It creates a

mosaic that is unique to a person’s identity

and knowledge. For this Portfolio, these shapes show different experiences that help

shape my identity with architecture.
