DON'T LET LIFE PASS YOU BY.

"Every building is like a struggle between external and internal forces. Wind, weight, tremors… We have to take into account all external factors that may affect the building so the design has to be able to withstand all that. We usually design apartments to be able to withstand 300 kilograms. And as for places like lecture halls or schools, where many people gather, we design the buildings to be able to withstand much more weight. If it's just one floor or a food court, we have to take into account the areas where people will sit, as well as where more of the weight will be centered when we're planning them out. We always have to make sure that the internal forces can withstand the external forces. And life, in a way, is a struggle between internal and external forces too."
