During my personal life and work
In the Architect’s world, not far from us, in the 50th & 60th, the well known architects tried to invent; their own “Style” and sometimes kept them for the rest of their professional life and “repeated” themselves in any architectural endeavor.
I believe, instead, to have a principal concept or a philosophy for starting any new architectural work.
Every time I had a new commission to undertake a “new” design, a “new” project, I always felt I’m at a starting point to implement a “new” project for a “new” subject and for a “new” client, and in a “new” location and really enjoyed a “rebirth” and I really enjoy what the new generation in the new light of technologies, and try to learn from them. I always tried to create a decision for a complete architecture, structure and the “environment life” of the “building”: commonly called: “building Equipment”.
