Are these idealistic architectural spaces valid today, 50 - 80 years later? My particular interest in modern architecture was revitalized the year I lived in Paris to functionalist - socialist architecure in Berlin.
My goal was to get on the inside of the system, to communicate with the human being behind the mask, the person protected by the uniform. I usually find places of particular interest in my local environment.

I am interested in how artists in earlier times and their ideas about space, spatial solutions and its proportions relate to the contemporary human being? Henri Cartier Bresson).
