Epilogue It is my hope that the thesis can find its place in your heart; that if today it does not manifest itself in form of ‘buildings’, may it still carry my sensitivity and intention as an architect. May it give strength, the strength to be kind. An architect must give a part of herself away to her architecture as to complete it. It has the very same relationship to its architect as I have with my body doubles, my writing, my screen of seeds, my little men, my miniature furniture, and my zoetrope. I needed to see the fragility extracted in order to understand. What works of architecture needs from us are our strength and care; in return, it completes us as a being and makes us whole again.
