Early Architectural Work

I studied architecture briefly in Budapest at BME. Six months, to be precise. I was good at maths, physics, and drawing, so this was the path the system naturally placed in front of me. Some of my teachers imagined a future in mathematics or engineering as I did well in competitions of these fields including nuclear physics. But even then, I knew art was pulling a little harder. Architecture gave me structure, but it didn’t give me language for people.

Those months trained my hand. I learned how to draw straight lines. Very straight lines. In class, I became known for them. Professors sometimes accused me of using a ruler. I wasn’t. That may have been the straightest thing about me. Pun intended ha! The discipline of those early architectural drawings still lives in my work, not as a rulebook, but as tension… structure meeting instinct, control slowly making room for something more human.
