Lior Gijrath
Approach
For me, architecture begins with close observation. I am drawn to the qualities already present in a place, its proportions, materials, traces and atmosphere, and to how these can guide a new intervention. I value architecture that is precise and restrained, where material, construction and spatial experience become part of the same idea.
