"I grew up in a sculptural concrete house which my father designed in the 1960s for our family. It contrasted with the traditional houses of our neighbors, and it strongly influenced my sense of quality for the built environment. To share this great experience, I started to use my communication skills and created a platform where selected architects can present their work to potential clients."
