architecture
“Life is always interesting as long as you keep learning” - I came across this sentence while reading a magazine and it seems that, instead of fading away in my memory, it becomes more powerful every single day.
Nevertheless, growing up I’ve got the sense that it’s not all about getting, but also about giving. And that’s my purspose with architecture, a world which gives me a perfect combination of technological, artistic and social knowledge. I like to think about architects as experts in inhabiting the Earth, and so looking into the best manner to deal with the relation beetwen us and the world where we stay. I only wish to help in the task of solving the daily problems architecture has to consider; hoping to be useful, I do claim for it.
