Fundamentals
Fundamentals are necessary.
Fundamentals are all an architect needs and can afford.

They are a mattress on that floor, a laptop on the mattress and a bottle of brown liquid, easy access to inspiration, cure to insomnia and, if you keep the empty, meter of your career.

Fundamental is your battery charger.

And fundamental is to know what to expect after graduation, or you’ll also turn a little overcooked.
It is fundamental to keep your metaphors straight.
A goal keeper, that’s fundamental, and the calendar of the world cup.
