an architect must be a sensitive LISTENER who is capable of TRANSLATING into ARCHITECTURE the client’s WISHES and NEEDS, according to the client’s proposed BUDGET
ARCHITECTURE´s purpose is the pursuit of appraisable AESTHETICS
ARCHITECTURE it’s all about SPACE,, FUNCTION, LIGHT, VOLUMES, VENTILATION, INSULATION, Physical and Ambience COMFORT, COSTS, appropriate TECHNIQUES, integration into the ENVIRONMENT and CULTURE, SUSTAINABILITY, MEMORY, FANTASY and DESIRES
Finishing, Revetment and Colours are TEMPORARY Architectural attributes
if an architect arbitrarily imposes his or her own will, NARCISSISM comes into play
if the sum of the parts of the client’s wish drive the process, the consequence may just be a “PATCHWORK”
if “tendencies” or “styles” prevail, the client may end up with a lovely but DATED object, which will soon become OBSOLETE
it’s up to the architect to create a “GOOD PROJECT” – not
following formulas but, instead, meeting the objective and subjective demands of each client, using best practices, as economy, quality, comfort, with elegance, as an expression of “its time”
The PROJECT has 3 basic phases
1. Project Design 2. Development details 3. Inspection the building work at intervals to ensure that is being carried out in accordance with the original concept
