From being ambitious, to dreaming about changing the world, here I am… It is 4:12 am, I am still awake, drinking a heavy gin and tonic and wondering how I got this far and why I still don’t know where I am going. What originally fascinated me about Architecture was the ability to create something beautiful, unique and moving. Growing up, and becoming a very emotionally driven person, having an impact on people’s experience of space and make them feel an emotion was something that later became an obsession.
The engineering madness and all of the “technicalities” are critical to the profession, yet they also constitute of a toxic pathogen infecting our way of thinking. This thesis resembles a paradox, the new frigid rules appear right and useful; They make architecture safe, sustainable and durable, however they distract the architects from something that has feelings, emotions and a conscience.
