ARCHITECTURE Emotional Resonance in Space. Time . Light
“Architecture, of all the arts, is the one which acts the most slowly, but the most surely, on the soul.� - Ernest Dimnet What is Architecture? To me, Architecture is a process that ones open their hearts perceiving the natural being of material, light, space, and time; by experiencing, recalling, and comprehending them in different contexts with others in the society; creating spaces that evoke memory, emotional, spritual resoance that reflects humanity. Furthermore, Architecture is not only a shelter, but also it is water for a withering leaf within souls.
