remembrance for architects

Dear architecture peeps out there,

Please bear in mind, we are architecture educated. We learnt about quality of space. We learnt about Sick Building Syndrome. Always put comfort as a first degree factor in creating a space. This does not apply only to clients' homes, offices and more, but most important, this is what your own office should have. Make sure to provide good air ventilation and natural lighting in your office. Your staff really need those to be able to work productively. If an architect's office does not have all these elements, can you really called yourself as an architect? Please, never put money on top of everything. Be responsible to what you have learnt in school and spread it to people around you. Invest a little to make your office a comfortable and most importantly, a 'healthy' place to live in. By then, you can no more ashamed to talk about environmental design, green design, sustainable design or what ever philosophy you prefer.

Hope my two cent will always be remembered.
