Underwater, I experience space with my body. I'll see a school of fish gathering and moving together and I'll exclaim, 'This is architecture.'
Interpretation
The quote expresses the connection between natural elements and architectural design.
Antoine Predock emphasizes the idea that architecture is not confined to built structures alone; rather, it can also be found in nature. The experience of observing a school of fish moving in unison underwater provides a profound moment of inspiration, suggesting that architecture can be a reflection of organic forms and the fluid dynamics of natural environments.
In practice
In a discussion about sustainable design practices, one might use this quote to highlight the importance of nature's influence on architecture.
I hope to refine music, study it, try to find some area that I can unlock. I don't quite know how to explain it but it's there. These can't be the only notes in the world, there's got to be other notes some place, in some dimension, between the cracks on the piano keys.
Polaroid by its nature makes you frugal. You walk around with maybe two packs of film in your pocket. You have 20 shots, so each shot is a world.
You know how a lot of people say, 'I lose myself in music,' or 'I like to escape,' but I want my music to be more of an awakening. I want it to make people to be aware of life; I don't want my music to be a distraction. I want to light a path.
It is the writer's privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart.

When I write something, I want the best director to direct it. And that's not going to be me. So when David Fincher comes along and wants to direct 'The Social Network,' when Bennett Miller comes along and wants to direct 'Moneyball,' or when Danny Boyle wants to direct 'Jobs'? Hallelujah. I want them directing it.
