Say hello to Armand
The Clinical Services Building (CSB) at the Texas Medical Center represents the first phase of MD Anderson’s multi-phase campus expansion. Designed to support the growth to 1,200 inpatient beds, the 11-story podium houses key campus support services, logistical infrastructure, and education spaces, seamlessly integrating with the existing hospital through multi-level connecting bridges.
"Architecture is the perfect balance of art, design, and problem solving. I’m driven by the opportunity to create spaces that enhance lives, where aesthetics and functionality converge to inspire healing, collaboration, and well-being. It’s not just a profession—it’s my way of shaping the world around me."
When he's not in the studio, Armand likes to explore wildlife and travel photography to fuel his creative spirit.
