As a Persian, I want to revive and use the rich building wisdom of cultures past. As a Millennial/ Gen Z in-betweener, I struggle in realizing one practical way to approach this goal. The solutions are endless and time is running out. These vast fields of possibility, however overwhelming, are to me most reassuring. I believe that as long as strong cultural, artistic and social frameworks directs vision, no wrong paths can be chosen.
