Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do
best by filling your minds and meditating
on things true, noble, reputable,
authentic, compelling, gracious—the
best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the
ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.”
Philippians 4:8, MSG

 Be gracious in your speech. The
goal is to bring out the best in
others in a conversation, not put
them down, not cut them out.

interpret societal values, goals and concepts in
a built form;

and interpretation

• The practice of architectural design captures the cultural (CULTURE)
and societal (SOCIETY) influences relative to the specific design
problem and translates these influences into a structure which
embodies the culture- meeting the specific needs of people;
