Invisibility in Architecture An personal manifesto
Designing Invisibility " when I am designing, I consistency thinking of the logic, steps and construction sequencing which directly present itself through scripting, while I am programming, I consistency looks for the beauty and aesthetic of the logic, not only in the functional sense but also in the asethetic sense."
