Manifesto Real architecture is refined and modified by the community as per their use.

No architecture should be oriented towards making money, it should put the people on the apex of the hierarch, architecture should make emotions and memories.

Mankind’s main source of inspiration has been nature from the beginning of time.

Nature has been existing since before mankind, and so does nature evolve as well.

Due to this reason Mankind has a very dependence on nature for ideas.
