Poem by Sim
I like to build places
Where nature
is foreground
And cannot
be overpowered
By our
temporary creations.
I use geometry not only to
organize
space and to mark
the
social interactions within
but
also to resonate with
the
landscape.
The building is not a fixed
object
but part of a larger
pattern
that flows with change-
a
permeable membrane
responding
to changes in use and place.
I like to use natural materials
Native
to a place – earth stone trees
With
advanced technology and scientific intelligence.
Architecture is part of the process of
“re-membering” – putting back together
our
collective dreams.
I
like to design buildings that are places
for
learning, healing and reflection,
coming
together.
The building should tell a story
about
place and people
and
be a pathway to understanding ourselves
within
nature. |
