• I believe that the teacher's place and work in the school is to be interpreted from this same basis.

• I'm very interested in buildings that adapt to changes in climatic conditions according to the seasons, buildings capable of responding to our physical and psychological needs in the way that clothing does.

Layering and changeability: this is the key.
