MOTIVATION
diverge.arc@gmail.com (e) +27 79 508 0958 (c)
I’m an architecture student and craftsman who believes strongly that plans and circumstances may change, but purpose can still propel us. Knowing our purpose propels us toward bringing together seemingly unconnected ideas to develop stories that inspire the best in all of life.

The best Architecture, like trees, leans towards the harsh rays of the sun to generate each building block, for a permeable yet sheltered micro-climate that offers shade to all life. This is done through founding it’s roots in stoney places, finding nourishment in an understanding that allows it to express and unravel an intricately woven idea upward through the earth, discarding much of what it was in the process.

Trees, like craftsmen, bring together forms which are flexible yet strong that work in isolation to perform particular tasks. Whilst architects use such elements as part of a cycle that appropriates carbon, produces oxygen, distills water, fixes nitrogen to provide food and fuel. All of these processes are part of a cycle that changes depending on the seasons and can be replicated from the juiciest or nuttiest form. Any such display of effort is always comforting and motivating to hear of or visit. Although being part of such work and using such principles in practice are rare, it’s value is often sought after because of it’s rarety.
