An architect is always in his field

Rear portal of the Smith HouseThe built and the not yet.

As I was contemplating my future life as an architect while traveling in the Sahara desert, I looked at a huge sand dune on the edge of a small village and commented to my companions that it would be an amazing setting for Architecture (note the capital A). One of them, a woman from Sweden,  turned to me and said "Just like a man! You see a beautiful fluid landscape and think, 'how can I make it square?'". I have since reviewed that impulse countless times and now look at the not-built as of equal importance to the built.
