Architecture: The Art of Purpose

 

Any builder can build you a house, but it takes an architect to design a true home: a place that houses your dreams and ambitions, a place where you truly can be yourself. In a true home, its every aspect, from the foundation to the smallest decorative detail, is an outgrowth of its overarching function to express and facilitate the personality and aspirations of its inhabitants. 

In this sense, we are all architects of our lives. When we inhabit our lives—not just as a functional house but as a beautiful home—our deeds are not isolated actions and experiences. Rather, they are in harmony with our greater purpose, which is reflected in all the rich details of our existence.
