ABOUT YITZHAK B SAMOUN
Honestly, I could have been a great lawyer.Once, I represented myself in court, won the case and got to say:\'May i approach the bench your honour?\'Didn\'t you ever imagine yourself doing that, or is just me?Practically, that\'s a major part of my work - to argue and protect our design intent, to negotiate with our consultants or proving there are better ways to do the impossible.For sure I could have been a good psychologist. That\'s a no brainer. I am investing so much of my time just listening,And though you probably didn’t thoroughly think about it, you must agree that truly \'listening\' does require some work out. check yourself with children, they know when you are not really there.One should always strive to achieve a good balance between trying to realise own\'s vision and the way others perceive it - being tuned to the voices of the team gets us closer to our goals in more responsible way. No doubts I could also have been an amazing Chef, I believe honest preparation of food requires certain sensitivities one could compare with sketching down a concept - an intuitive determination of lengths, sizes, proportions and colours to an exciting composition of pleasure.You caught me there. I never taste what I cook until it’s in my plate.Nevertheless, you should reach out at some point and invite yourself for dinner at our place;)Architecture grabbed me though, from the first moment.it’s the brain tickle you get when you imagine buildings, spaces, materials and light, just from looking at a few lines.it’s the rush that comes from every new project: setting its rhythms, its tones, building up a narrative, exploring partitions.all of it; from inception to completion. This, while embracing the challenges, the imperfections and celebrating the frictions of collaboration that comes along working with wonderful, talented, creative and inspiring people.Let\'s find ways to work together.
