Whether we realize it or not, architecture guides us through every step of our daily lives . It determines the route we take to work. Whether we choose to walk or drive. What we choose to look at. When we choose to look at it. Our mood. Our thoughts. And all the other "little things" that create the feelings we experience throughout any given day.
Ipso facto, I became a writer.
A true wordsmith has the power to make people behave differently once contact is made through their work. But for words to truly have the desired effect we as writers should hope they will have, each word must be carefully selected, then crafted, and put together in order to become a work of art that has the ability to move us, both emotionally and physically. Alone, a word is just a word. Just as a piece of wood is just a piece of wood and a ceramic tile is just as lonely as it appears before being partnered with its counterparts.
But once paired together to make or say something truly unique and imaginative, whether it be words, or colors, or materials, the outcome can be something that demands followers. Thus, changing the direction of our culture and leading us towards that which has yet to be seen, heard and experienced. This, if done right, will set off a chain reaction of wanting to outdo that which inspired us to do something in the first place. Therefore, continuing the cycle of forward creative movement and cultural relevance.
Some may call me a writer. I like to think of myself as an artist. But in the end, it appears that I am an architect.
