For me, architecture expresses a combination of elements that
include different aspects of our daily lives. Architecture is subtle; it
incorporates intricate design ideas that combine culture with context. In my opinion, architecture is a way of solving
problems, of simplifying people’s lives by providing efficient designs. Architecture is a source of sustainability; it
is an opportunity we get to be creative and design thinking on how we want the world to be tomorrow.
As architects we have the responsibility to set an example,
to make positive changes in the way buildings are being constructed and designed.
Architects need to be aware of the major issues affecting a community; they
should be open to change, to listen, to evaluate and to be able to engage with
their clients. For me a good architect is someone who is willing to be part of
a team that is trying to create a project that will impact society in a
positive way.
