The goal posts might shift, but you should have a goal.

In Iraq, many of my female friends were architects and professionals with a lot of power during the 1980s while all the men were at war in Iran.

You really have to have a goal.

There are so many great galleries and museums in London, but they can be very crowded during the day.

Two years ago I focused on one apartment to see how many variations you can come up with in a given space with the same parameters. I would work on this repeatedly for days and you see that there is maybe seven hundred options for one space. This exercise gives you an idea of the degree at which you can interpret the organization of space, it is not infinite but it's very large.

If I'm in london it can be different than if I'm somewhere else.

With products the form is almost the finished piece, but with architecture it is not.
