“I strongly believe that good architectural works can improve culture, tradition, society and people in the sense of perception. It also can improve living environment and quality of life. Architecture can be directly benefited in two ways. One is by transferring outcome to develop the country, response to the usage and respect to environment and its context. The other is by passing the architectural concept to the next generation through teaching and learning spirit and inspiration to the new architects”
