I think about architecture all the time. That's the problem. But I've always been like that. I dream it sometimes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't know why I've always been so captivated by architecture.
When I started designing in school, I discovered that I had a knack for it. I fell completely in love with architecture, and I remain in love with it.
I believe that architecture, as anything else in life, is evolutionary. Ideas evolve; they don't come from outer space and crash into the drawing board.
When you start to live your dream, it's not quite what you thought it was because there is a lot of overwhelming stuff that comes on top of it, and you have to figure it all out.
Architecture doesn't come from theory. You don't think your way through a building.
I'd say that my profession ends where architectural thinking ends - architectural thinking in terms of thinking about programs and organizational structure. These abstractions play a role in many other disciplines, and those disciplines are now defining their 'architectures' as well.
Architecture is the story of how we see ourselves. It is the architect's job to service everyday life.
Architecture has always been a very idealistic profession. It's about making the world a better place, and it works over the generations because people go on vacation and they look for it.
I think architecture is rarely the product of a single ideology. It's more like it can be shaped by a really big idea. It can accommodate a lot of life forms.
Architecture is measured against the past; you build in the future, and you try to imagine the future.
