my chosen point of departure in architecture...

Architecture can be percived and approached in so many ways. The 'hard' (structures, forces, geometries of form) and the 'soft' (quality of environments, mood, atmosphere) becomes the only resonable act of architecture since its birth. Her postulation has always been about how the 'hard' and the 'soft' can coexist with the environment to perform a social, cultural, and economy task - an assignment dedicated to for prosperity of mankind on earth.

My chosen point of departure in architecture will be dedicated to the exploration of the relationship between man and its environment.

Nar... sorry folks, all these are just just bullshit.

Truth is.. I wanna do it cuz that's the only thing that I find stimulating.
