Designing

For most architects to create nice form, functionable and even sustainable architecture are norms.
We need to have one step further to surface from the normal architect's design solution.
Designing is an art of thoughts.
What is the intension? What is the norm? What makes you stands out when everyone is doing what you are doing?
How do you bring your ideas out?
Knowing what you are doing is more important than anything.
Sometimes, we are lost in the process of design and the way out is just asking what you want.

Merry Christmas to all.
