Preserving Architectural Beauty with Integrity

Hi! My name is Katrina, and I have been a lifelong student of architecture. Even before I know the word "architecture", as a child, I was emotionally and aesthetically impressed by beautiful buildings and spaces. At uni, I decided to continue my studies.

I wish you and your architecture a long and lasting existence, and I hope you enjoy reading.
