Hope

Building something represents an effort in relation to a project, to an idea. We build it in order to advance, to check whether (or not) our suppositions were right, to learn from it.

And to pass it on to other users, inhabitants, collectivity… Building is a working time in which we must not lose hope.

Now, with building work halted, Heerhugowaard (dwellings in Holland), ESMA (Ecole Supérieure des Métiers Artistiques) in Montpellier, the headquarters of Banc Sabadell… are waiting.

We trust in the future.
