KE

Architect

“There is a comfort with design that may be a detail, rather than a building; comfort with form that is time-released and never finished. How do you represent an instruction set that will play out in time? There may be slightly different kinds of documents for representing those forms, and different skills for advocating change outside of our fee-for-service habits.”

Henry David Thoreau

Writer, Philosopher

“Indeed, the best books have a use, like sticks and stones, which is above or beside their design, not anticipated in the preface,not concluded in the appendix.

It has often an acquired and accidental value merely, proving that man is still man in the world.”
