   because architecture is not only drawing with space but with light

   i just would like to say one more thing about architecture - there
   aren't my words but this is for her
   (this words are copyright of that person, do not copy, alter or
    what ever without her explicit authorization, thank you!)

   (A Arquitectura não é delimitada, ela cresce, sugerindo e
    influenciando, pela manipulação e subversão do espaço, mas
    nunca sendo restringida ao conceito singular. Arquitectura
    é desenhar o que se pensa e pensar o que se desenha, é uma
    intenção, é habitar, é percorrer, é permanecer, é contemplar... )


description of how this image was created:
   - from real plans i draw them in AutoCAD first in 2D and then in 3D
   - model details in rhinoceros (bed, mattres, bathtub, etc)
   - export geometry to 3DStudio and study lights, materials, etc
   - write signature with paint shop pro
