44. There is according to research and information written
in the presentation:
The competent architect is not whoever built with
expensive and rare materials but He is who uses poor
and available materials to build glamorous and
luxurious buildings.
The difficulties encountered in the architecture should
be a strong point for the architect

45. Meet customer requirements without neglecting our
own concept
The architectural difficulties arise at the construction
site
