Politecnico di Milano M.A Holy Spirit of Kaslik B.Sc
One merely looks at a building and should realize the dynamic nature it imposes on itself and its surrounding. Spaces are regarded as static entities, however most fail to understand their importance. When architects design, they have an opportunity to leave a lasting impact. An achievement in itself and architects are gifted with this in every building they design. This is why we study architecture: we have the ability to change, to impact, to inspire every individual who comes in contact with our projects.
