Light



__ From the lake house video… __ They are talking about the light. The oldest man is saying that the light is different in different places, it is never the same. He says that an architect who wants to create something that stands the tests of time can never disregard the environment. He knows that if he wants light for his structure, he must study the environment, which I think is totally truth. A good architect has to think in every single aspect of the place where he or she wants to design something. If he or she doesn’t the structure won’t last.
