The interest
of my office in an architectural approach focuses on the
quest for harmony between the architectural design and
the environment as well as the aesthetic quality of space,
as each of us perceives it.
Space excites and stimulates all the senses of humans,
according to the unique ability for perception that each
of us has developed. The quality of design depends on
the tolerance, understanding, and contribution on behalf
of the client.
The architect will determine his program based on certain
specifications by the client. Just like the tailor that
will cut out and stitch a costume according to the measures
of the client, keeping in mind -of course -the scheduled
venue so as to achieve harmony, as mentioned above.
The intentions of the client play a crucial role in the
successful outcome of any architectural project -a thing
that is apparent to those involved in the building industry.
Architecture can fail if the client is not sensitive,
intelligent, and responsible. Good clients do not necessarily
guarantee architectural quality, considering that the
corresponding competence on behalf of the architect must
exist.
There is no doubt that the client who diminishes the value
of architectural planning, hailing from bureaucratic inflexibility
or speculative mercilessness, obtains mediocre results
before the operation even begins.
To deal with this mediocrity, uttermost priority must
be given by the state to the field of environment planning
through education.
The beginning of every architectural composition requires
the study of the smallest unit of space: The room.
A community of rooms must create a harmonious totality
of spaces. Just like music is a synthesis of sounds, expressed
with musical instruments and based on notes and harmony,
so is architecture a synthesis of spaces, given in light,
formulated by various materials and based on principles
of aesthetics.
