Vinu Daniel: Early Influences and the Future of Architecture
I believe beauty is not just about the aesthetics, but also about the resourcefulness of the process. To me, beauty is an aspect that emerges when we can reduce our dependency on natural resources, or materials, minimising our embodied energy by incorporating the materials that are already available, like discarded tyres, or discarded plastic toys, into something meaningful and visually striking; when we give new life to what would otherwise be environmental burdens.
