Josef Martin Parackal

As an architecture student currently studying at the University of Brighton, I have a strong passion for physical model-making. I respect the different material aspects of designs and enjoy working with my hands to bring concepts to life. I have realized that the current architecture industry is starting to become more digital, so I have embraced digital tools like AutoCAD, Vectorworks, etc, that I have learned so far. I have also learned to integrate them properly into my design process.

My journey has been marked by learning from mistakes and continuously improving my skills. Working together on projects has enhanced my ability to communicate, support each other and adapt based on feedback, helping me refine the designs. I make an effort to offer new solutions that meet the project objectives while incorporating both digital and physical approaches.

• Fine Art: Passionate about exploring various artistic mediums, enhancing my creative perspective and design sensibilities.
• Lego Construction: Enjoy designing and building intricate structures with Lego, which I've noticed, fosters creativity and spatial awareness in architecture.
• Photography: Enthusiastic about capturing architectural forms and landscapes, utilizing photography as a source of inspiration for my designs.
• Model Making: Dedicated to creating detailed physical models, honing my skills in craftsmanship and understanding of spatial relationships.
