Architecture has always been for me a quest - a search; both into the inner and about the outer world. Realization on both realms somehow seems inextricably connected to me.
My deep love for theory and history guides to a large extent my thinking and studio work. But in the end, after all the obstruse theory and intellectually stimulating dialogue, I feel ever more closer to Kahn's wonderfully mystic words "Architecture is......."
For me it is not an incomplete statement.
It does not just mean that Architecture is something complete in itself; like the elements which just are. It means that it also has to be complete in itself as tangible sensual experience - as form, space, light, shade and texture - actively affecting ones emotions and life positively in whatever small way, in every moment spent in it.
That quality in the end is what I think I have always wanted my architecture to have. An offering to the spirit of architecture.
