Richard's words |
I enjoy the fact that my contribution to society and the environment is at a myriad of levels...You know when you first start out in the business you are immediately exposed to all areas of the profession as well as your client's vision and the world around you. Architects and planners have a task of reshaping or shaping our built environment. (You don't actually reshape anything). The thing that gets `reshaped' is our patterns, our way of thinking, and our outlook to sustain ourselves. Why is McDonalds in Window Rock a desirable place for the kids to go? Or the Burger King in Chinle? Well it's because of the playing equipment, colors, and plenty of daylight - a paradigm for learning. Believe me they are `learning' when they get a bite to eat there. |

Abstract |
"Be abstract...conceptual and not too literal because you have a very beautiful culture. With that, evoke the essence. Be powerful." |
Antoine Predock, Architect |
October 13, 2000 ( I had the sincere pleasure of meeting Mr. Predock in Albuquerque) |
My aspirations on reaching my goals are not distant anymore, but in fact, attainable. This is my personal view on how one begins to set goals for him or herself. The only key-element in the process of life is to educate and expand your mind to the manmade and natural world around you. This statement coincides with the design process in the studios at the School of Architecture. When a project is in initial phase, program development of the project is the key followed by a process of concepts and ideas. At this stage, the project is being developed from a personal view because that's where ingenuity and education binds. The sharing of your ideas is a final expression of the project. This hybrid is a fusion of your journey - education. |
Architecture is about experience just as much as you detail it... |
