" I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it offers a unique platform to collaborate with like-minded peers and drive meaningful change. My work on global warming stems from a deep conviction that architecture can be a powerful tool in combating climate change. By integrating sustainable practices into design, I aim to create solutions that not only address environmental challenges but also inspire others to join in the pursuit of a more sustainable future.
