My Philosophy & Approach

"No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill. Belonging to it. Hill and house should live together each the happier for the other."

Frank Lloyd Wright

"Organic Architecture"

I am a firm believer of the philosophy of "Organic Architecture" defined by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. His list of best principles is a comprehensive guide to best practices for "architecting" in general, including Cloud Architecture.
