Additional Information
We shape our buildings; thereafter, they shape us . The way you lay your bed...so you lie on it.. You can dream, create, design, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it requires people to make the dream a reality . A great building must begin with the immeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed, and in the end must be unmeasured. Good buildings come from good people, and all problems are solved by good design . Use the best possible materials, and reveal the quality of those materials and the craftsmanship of their assembly. You know hard work pays .. Sees though a man deligent in his business he shall stand before kings and not mean man. Nothing in this world is more simple and more cheap than making cities that provide better for people . I love smoking weed (Thought you should know that) lol.
