<p>It happened when I was working as an intern for an architecture office in Bangkok. The rich client hired the office to shave off an entire hill and design a gigantic touristic resort.</p> <p>We met him on Phuket island.

They were living under the open sky. Seeking the scarce shadow of coconut trees, their only shelter was a cardboard tent. Some people were floating on wooden rafts.
