A good architect is someone who can empathise. He also knows what it takes to build something. This is a reminder that construction and material are at the heart of everything we do. In the end, architects simply have to put ‘thingsʼ on top of other ‘thingsʼ - how and why we do that is central to being an architect. As a combination, these things attempt to reorientate the idea of what architecture is.
