It is very important, before a person begins to plan for the implementation of any building, that all the surrounding natural influences are evaluated from the topography, green areas, customs, traditions, climate and other features that will affect the determination of the most appropriate elements of the building, such as geographical orientation, geometric shape, materials used, openings, etc.

Research-in-practice and education. • Focus in the relationship of technology to architectural value and spirituality. • Modern technological thought has brought us to an impass not unlike the pandemic of 2020. We will not be able to continue as we have. • Need is to inform architects' role in coming change; responsibility far surpasses what we are today doing. • Ground of my work is to bring spiritual practice near to architectural practice and bring to the fore the original questioning nature of architectural practice that gives measure as architectural loci in tune with nature. • Facilitate transformative use of the findings of science that technology enables.
