I Don't Want To Do Architecture That's

Green Issues Have Been Used As A Marketing Tool. Sometimes These Green Claims Are Completely Meaningless.

I Used To Read More When I Was A Kid Than I Do Now. It Was All Sort Of Fuel For The Fire To Teach You How To Think And How To Make Things And It Informed The Architecture That I Was Doing.

It's Not New That Architecture Can Profoundly Affect A Place, Sometimes Transform It.
