THE STORY Conflicts and wars.. Divergence and quarrels.. Are consequences of people’s short sight and lack of Insight… resulting in the continued aspiration towards salvation.. Where people see in the future, A refuge for their souls from pains and soreness on earth… In life and in their own existence… Idea and Impulse… Freedom of soul is a desire of every living human on the planet.. promised by the oracles thousands of years ago.. people reach for a way.. a road.. or a spot of light at the end of the tunnel.. Where it comes with the Idea that.. people “meet” in architecture.. or people “agree” in architecture.. or people find a resolution in architecture.. when architecture represents ALL humans needs… a shelter.. a flee..An escape.. when people are convinced that the impulsive Power that bonds all of them together is the belief in the commons and not the differences.. the similarity and not the divergence.. at the moment where people believe that The truth of salvation is in resemblances…
