“A Successful Design Is A Design That
Travels Thro One’s Creative Mind
Beside The Shadow Of All City Codes And The Latest Building Regulations.
This is Followed Strongly By The Client‘s Amazing Concept.”

“Money wasn’t important. I never did it for the money.
Money is wonderful obviously and make you able do things or invest.
But It was about the company, The People And The Products We’re Using.
My Focus was the company To Do Well For A Long Period Of Time.”
Steve Jobs
“You have to systematically create confusion, it sets creativity free. Everything that is contradictory creates life, the most brilliant.
"The honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad."
Everything alters me, but nothing changes me.”
~ Salvador Dalí ~
" Early in life I had to choose between Honest Arrogance and Hypocritical Humility. I chose the former and have seen no reason to change."
~Frank Lloyd Wright~
The echos of life, Listen to by the walls,
Repeated in the corridors, Everyone’s Performing the same movements,
We all share the same spaces,
Do you trust or to be trusted...
Do you lead or are you lead...
Always live to hold on to...

Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works.
Steve Jobs
I have a great respect for incremental improvement, and I've done that sort of thing in my life, but I've always been attracted to the more revolutionary changes. I don't know why. Because they're harder. They're much more stressful emotionally. And you usually go through a period where everybody tells you that you've completely failed.
Steve Jobs
Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people.
Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.
Steve Jobs
The architect must be a prophet... a prophet in the true sense of the term... if he can't see at least ten years ahead don't call him an architect.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Why, I just shake the buildings out of my sleeves.
Frank Lloyd Wright
A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have. Steve Jobs
Being modest is not about suppressing your own sense of self worth. Rather, being modest is about uplifting the positive virtues of others with respect to your own.
Ultimately, being confident is not just about having a strong sense of self worth. More importantly, it is about having a strong sense of self worth that you have formulated on your own terms.

Innovation has nothing to do with how many R & D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R & D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it.
Steve Jobs
If customers can’t find it, it doesn’t exist. Clearly list and describe the services you offer. Also, be sure to showcase a premium service.
Having a big sale, on-site celebrity, or other event? Be sure to announce it so everybody knows and gets excited about it.
Are your customers raving about you on social media? Share their great stories to help turn potential customers into loyal ones.
Running a holiday sale or weekly special? Definitely promote it here to get customers excited about getting a sweet deal.
Have you opened a new location, redesigned your shop, or added a new product or service? Don't keep it to yourself, let folks know.
Customers have questions, you have answers. Display the most frequently asked questions, so everybody benefits.
Every idea that is a true idea has a form, and is capable So by way of ideas, and your mastery of them in relation to what you are doing, will come your value as an architect to your society and future. That's where you go to school. You can't get it in a university, you can't get it here, you can't get it anywhere except as you love it, love the feeling of it, desire and pursue it. And it doesn't come when you are very young, I think. I believe it comes faster with each experience, and the next is very simple, or more simple, until it becomes quite natural to you to become master of the idea you would express.
"Idea and Essence" September 7, 1958
Frank Lloyd Wright
let’s set extremely high standards and expectations followed by speed.
Let’s challenge other people to work harder, work longer, and do more.
Sometimes more than they thought was possible.
Let’s take this beautiful city to the moon and Back.

One Thing Separates People Who Achieve From Those Who Only Dream.
Most people never pick up the phone and call. Most people never ask, and that's what separates, sometimes, the people who do things from the people who just dream about them.
Steve Jobs
I'm strong-willed. Architects are strong-willed. You get the best results with a strong client and a strong architect working together.

Artists rarely do the same thing over and over again. Art is about the new, doing things in a new way.
Eli Broad
Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.
Salvador Dali
Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them.
Salvador Dali
It is good taste, and good taste alone, that possesses the power to sterilize and is always the first handicap to any creative functioning.
Salvador Dali
Abstract art frees our brain from the dominance of reality , enabling it to flow within its inner states , create new emotional and cognitive associations , and activate brain-states that are otherwise harder to access . This process is apparently rewarding , it enables the exploration of yet undiscovered inner territories of the viewer's brain . Inspiration by daily visual contacts with people , objects , nature , sounds , etc . Only to start a flashback of all registered abstracts and their creative connections . Then , there's a process of foreseeing the non physical existence abstracts in a form of an imaginary framed picture.
This would cause the creative Mind's reverse processing reaction and will start its flashback in a form of renderings.
At last, the completion of final stage by connecting all the selected dots and bringing them all in to Reality.
A fresh breath of a new art Is born...

"The Tradition" prevents us, "Human" from improving our imagination.
The Architectural Boundaries is as worse as giving the modern technology its limitations.
