Our conversation explores the importance of the creative process, the value of taking time to create something meaningful, and the need to detach from outcomes. It emphasizes the significance of creating unique and original work that reflects one's specific skills and passions. We also delve into the role of beauty in design and architecture, highlighting the impact of surroundings on emotions and experiences. It discusses the neglect of architecture as a subject and the need for more intentional and thoughtful design in homes and buildings. The conversation explores the lack of appreciation for beauty in modern homes and the impact of mass production on design and aesthetics. It discusses the role of interior designers in creating brave and unique spaces and the importance of preserving historical architecture and craftsmanship. The conversation also delves into the influence of large corporations and the commodification of houses, leading to a loss of character and individuality. It emphasizes the need for a balance between affordability and quality, as well as the responsibility of homeowners to consider the impact of their choices on the community.
