Jez,
You should see the money people spend on houses and interiors, without
knowing how they want to live.
I have to ask, as an architect, very frequently what the client really
wants. They mostly don't know, and just want what is "normal". As soon as I
ask the question to the client, you see their disorientation. I just
scattered their idea, of the house they see on TV-series and which they
want, or the one from friends, that is what they want, who am I to ask such
a question? I am starting to think (sic) that THINKING is a disease.Who
would want to think, and ask him/herself questions? Life is already
difficult enough in our comfortable west?
Please: AUTO EVERYTHING!
Iwert.
