Design Skills

I learned knowledge in depth and skills in architecture and design. I want to be able to analyze and use nature related forms and structures on both a structural and architecture theoretical and philosophical way. This means when I will meet a designs question, I will be able to give as well architectural conceptual as structural convincing arguments for design and solutions.
