I have studied Nature and its Creator,
The Man and His Story.

Architect since 1979 to the present…

2005
Suddenly we were both at the top of an old sea dune, a river under its feet, an ancient seashore wide. We both appreciated their own surroundings. A few minutes of intense silence. At the same time, we announced our decision: “Let’s take it!”
