MY TWIN HOUSE, 2014, Bordeaux, France

Each architect has a sentimental project: this is mine.
I wished it came later with more maturity
It’s just three stone ( three building ), put on earth to witness
the past , the present, and the future,
Three stones looking to each other in the silence…
The immutable silence of time...
