My frustration of not having a proper, full-time, salaried position was temporarily alleviated during the Kengo Kuma lecture at Woodbury University two weeks ago. For those who aren't familiar, Kuma is a Japanese architect.
His design theory touches materiality and structural design. There is a quality of emergent complexity to his work, where the structural rationale begins with a component that is iteratively and uniformly applied and repeated, until it populates a spatial span.
He was humble, soft-spoken and inspiring. He sounded like an architect devoted to and fascinated by his methodology and approach, and is committed to seeing an idea through, with a relentless patience.

And I'm still wearing my hat on a daily basis.
