When building a Physical Space:

                              know the site, the climate,

                                  the finances, the desires of the client  -  balance these with great care and precision.

 

If in an Artistic Expression:                        

                                 know the material

                                 and then forget what you think you understand  push the boundaries,

                                                                                                                   go bigger, refine the details,

                                                                                                                   look for the natural beauty in the rhythm of the work.
