- 7. Philosophy Believed that architecturebegins after you put up four walls and a roof – This is what he called the “non-manifest part.” The immediate surroundings is source of construction materials - snow, stone, straw, reed, wood or mud is the indigenous materials for constructing an enclosure. The relationship between human being and the building being established, what develops and grows around becomes a measure for man and his society. There is a place for everything and everything has its place. Spatial configuration in his design is an attempt to invoke a spirit that will establish a symbiotic bond between the present and the past.
- 8. AESTHETICS It is theaesthetics of openness contrasted with enclosures that highlights the different features from the rest of the façade. Facades communicate through solids and voids FORM Realization of shelter form and its content are in response to a given place, climate, and time. Context is important.
