As a building is resistant to forces acting upon it, a person must be equally tenacious in life.

I have tried to get close to the frontier between architecture and sculpture and to understand architecture as an art.

The concept of an "architect" is one of the oldest professions in the world. Whereas, some professions, such as a "lawyer", have their roots in Latin, "Archi - tecton" is actually a Greek word, and much older. Just knowing how old the profession is gives me hope that we will still exist for years to come, even if we are changing.

The architect needs to learn to see, and to open his eyes because there is always a lesson to learn from the streets.

The architect is very interesting because the architect is the commander, meaning the one who commands all the workers. The architect is also the music director and composer. He cannot play each instrument, but he needs to understand and embody the sense of each part.

The architect holds much knowledge, but is not a specialist. Especially with the computer and technology, the amount of knowledge an architect possesses keeps on growing.

I think it is important to be present in the places where you are working. It is not only about doing a project, but following the project through its construction.
