Building beyond Ego: the Complicated World of Architecture
<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. All night, after the meeting, I tried to ease my mind in the darkness.</p>
<p>But I couldn’t.</p>
<p>In Phuket, I witnessed abject poverty. I saw families that had nothing but each other. 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. All of this was happening at the gates of the client’s resort.</p>
<p>And at every corner of the world in one way or another. Architecture is used to divide the rich from the poor.</p>
