People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course, that's both liberating and alarming.
But then architects don't build their own houses.
Home is where you hang your head.

About 1998, when 'Wide World of Sports' and the 'Footy Show' came to an end for me, I couldn't type. When I started architecture, it was a very aesthetic, creative, an almost art process, where lettering and thick line were how you expressed yourself on the paper.
Japanese architecture is traditionally based on wooden structures that need renovating on a regular basis.
The general public will almost always stand behind the traditionalists. In the public eye, architecture is about comfort, about shelter, about bricks and mortar.

Architecture depends on Order, Arrangement, Eurythmy, Symmetry , Propriety , and Economy.
