Vision / NO-thing happens unless first a dream.

Inspiration / The beautiful silence of a building is associated with the ideas of relaxation, self-evidence, permanence, presence and integrity as well as warmth and sensuality.

Creation / Design is to establish emotional relationships by means of raw materials.

Embodiment / Building is the art of construction well before it gives rise to "Building Art".
