Earth turns into gold
in the hands of the wise.

to build a shelter for his or her family
with the simplest of elements –
earth, water, air, and fire.

Garden of Eden, he was put there to
dress it and keep it, to work, in fact;
which proves that man was not born
to an easy life.

according to reason.

open your door and walk out directly on
a garden, regardless of how high
your apartment may be.

of architecture. I want to create a condition
that is as vague and ambiguous as drifting
particles. The closest thing to such a condition
is a rainbow.
Kengo Kuma
My house is my refuge, an emotional piece
of architecture, not a cold piece of convenience.
Luis Barragan
When love and skill work together,
expect a masterpiece.
John Ruskin
We will win only then when the word “green”
will loose its connotation in the context of
sustainability. In the future there will be no
“green cars” or “green buildings” because
all cars and buildings will be sustainable.
