“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.�- Frank Gehry

HELLO...

Architecture is the design of our lives.

It is where we live, how we live, how we feel.

I love architecture because it challenges us to increase our creativity, express ourselves on a deeper level. Give us something we all hunger for, yet are not sure what that is until we see it in front of us.
