ABOUT
Daniel J. Massaro
Architecture is the exploration of the senses. It is the understanding of how a space works, translating function into form, and learning how to organize the elements of the figure such as proportion, harmony, balance, materiality, structure, and context. When understanding these elements and their relationships one starts to understand the composition of the whole. Yet, beyond the confines of aesthetics and utility, lies a deeper imperative - the call to imbue sustainability into the very essence of architectural creation. By seamlessly intertwining the exploration of the senses with the ethos of sustainability, we can create a new paradigm for architecture, one that reignites its resonance with life itself.
