BIO
"TO MAKE ARCHITECTURE BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE NOT TO THE OWNER. NO ONE CAN IGNORE THE FACT THAT THE PROFESSION NOW DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH RICH, EDUCATED AND OPEN MINDED CLIENT IS. ARCHITECTURE WAS ALWAYS A TOOL OF EXPRESSION, PEOPLE USED TO BUILD FOR NEED AND A PURPOSE; BUT NOW IT BECAME A BUSINESS. LOTS OF DESIGNERS LOOK FOR THE “DREAM CLIENT” TO DESIGN HIS “DREAM PROJECT” WHILE THE MAIN IDEA BEHIND AN ARCHITECT IS TO THINK FOR A BETTER FUTURE FOR ALL PEOPLE, POOR AND RICH."
