Process of Work Victor Legorreta
An architect must know how to listen, understand, deepen, enrich and contemplate the illusions of our clients so that the objectives of both become one. The architect places all his passion, dedication and talent in this adventure to achieve an architectural project that transforms itself into a constructive reality. During all this process, never imagined changes are discovered, an idea is molded and constructed, always accepting our limitations to evaluate the priorities and achieve converting the dream into a reality. If each project is an architect´s dream, we must also understand that it is at the same time another´s dream; thus he has the responsibility to materialize it as best as possible. That´s what is wonderful about architecture, that it is much more than the idea of one person, it is the result of a collaboration where clients, constructors, artisans, public servants, society, and artists intervene. In all this process, the architect tries to conjugate all these elements in the best possible way to materialize a great work. Therefore, the architect must be before anything an optimistic human being. Believing in the possibilities of achieving environments that make us better human beings, more just, respectful with our environment, with our surroundings and our culture, as a consequence happy human beings. Architecture is going to be as good as our illusions are. A work that answers only to material or economic needs and not to the desire of transcending as a human being is not architecture, it is a mere construction. If we let our dreams be dominated to make money, achieve fame or have more power, we are going to build superficial and insignificant buildings. Good works are always the result of men who seek projects to give a step forward in our infinite path towards a better society. Thus, before anything we must learn to dream.
