Hi, I’m Du Nghiem (b. 2003, Hanoi). I’m a Master of Architecture candidate at Rice University. 
I graduated from Yale College in May 2025 with a B.A. in Architecture and Psychology, earning distinction in both majors.

I love desire paths, hammock naps, palm reading, sending postcards, and the cold feel of concrete. I am interested in memory preservation, mapping and counter-mapping.

I hope to design with curiosity, courage, and care.

This assignment is about defining space under binary conditions - “inspiration” and “practice.” Inspiration provides the initial spark, the creative vision. Without practice, these inspirations may remain unrealized.

The scaffolding symbolizes “practice,” an infrastructure that embraces and defines the activities happening within. The density and number of the white sticks represent passion and intensity, forming two nuclei on opposite sides. The central square, left empty in plan view, serve as a silent, meditative space. In the creative processes, pauses can be regenerative.
