The Level Of Detail And Craft Is Something That's Inscribed Within The Original Design Concept. And So When I Begin To Draw, I Know What Kind Of Detailing I Want The Building To Have.

I Think Of The Past And The Future As Well As The Present To Determine Where I Am, And I Move On While Thinking Of These Things.
