Why Not Architect Your Own Life?
Design the Life You Want by Aligning Your Vision, Priorities, and Actions
We usually take our workplaces for granted, don’t we? But skyscrapers are colossal achievements. Architects must design them with variables like winds, earthquakes, communication, traffic, and the surrounding environment in mind.
