Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. Like John Portman, I believe dynamics are more important: the dynamics of people, their interaction with spaces and environmental condition. Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.
Frank Lloyd Wright said, every great architect is – necessarily – a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age. I therefore aim at designing and impacting today for tomorrow. I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by creativity. By combining this with functionality based on todays reality I aspire to make a mark in my generation.
