In becoming architects, we learn to see the world with intelligent sensuality. Intuitive propositions become the means by which we discover the qualities of location

First Blog Wunderlust Post of the Year
Mass- production is the realm of the industrial designer and the process engineer – so let them maintain claim over that territory. The bespoke is the true specialty of the architect and the contemporary profession has more facility than ever to implement difference in the most intelligent of ways.Chris Knapp

one prerequisite of architecture is travel. I think that you should travel as much as you financially and possibly can. Essentially architecture is impossible to understand on the web or in books; it is an experience art. You need to go and feel those places, and see how the people there use them. No matter how much description is given to you, you will not understand until you go there.
