What does architecture mean to you and what is the role of an architect in your society?

Architects play a vital role in society by shaping the built environment, balancing aesthetics with functionality, safety, and sustainability. We are responsible for creating spaces that improve the quality of life for individuals and communities, while taking into account the social and environmental impact of the spaces we design.

Why do you participate in architecture competitions?

Competitions offer architects a platform to explore innovative and experimental design ideas that may not be possible in typical commissioned projects. They allow us to push the boundaries of our creativity and test new concepts. Additionally, competitions can be a valuable learning experience, enabling us to receive feedback from juries and improve our skills.

What advice would you give to individuals who struggle to decide whether it would be beneficial for them to participate in architecture competitions?

 Competitions can be a valuable learning experience, enabling us to receive feedback from juries and improve our skills.
