Only the most uncreative of people could say that it's impossible to find inspiration in everyday life. No matter how dull our daily lives may be, the things we experience the most, namely the general existential milieu of our lives, often come as inspiration if we look at them from another perspective. The most creative people usually thrive even in the harshest of conditions, which is the boredom of routine and the commonness of our environment. Even there, there lies a tiny lesson or a bit of inspiration, one only has to have keen eyes to see it.

Judging by what has been said in the previous paragraph, Felipe de Castro definitely has a set of keen eyes on him. Even the simplest object comes to life in a new light once he starts to improvise a building sketch based on them. Some of these are so brilliantly designed that many would love to see them come to life in reality.

It may come as no surprise an architect as talented as Felipe found his passion very early in his life. "My passion for architecture started when I was little when I created Lego buildings and wooden blocks."

His knowledge and taste in architecture are very rich, and it shows in his answer about what architecture means to him. "Architecture is capable of changing the lives of one or several families. Well-made architecture provides well-being, pleasure, and a good feeling when you come into contact with it, physically or visually."

For Felipe it's hard to define how long the process takes from start to finish, and there are a few objective obstacles to that. "The difficult thing is to think about the result before creating it, the execution process takes an average of 40 minutes."

When asked if he wishes to make any of these sketches a reality, he answered: "I'm creating a project for a hotel and casino in Las Vegas. I can't say much yet, but soon I believe I'll be able to show something."

Of course, the architect Felipe has his own taste in his craft, and he named a few of his favorite buildings that he sketched. "I really like the pendrive house, which was one of the drawings that was shared the most and it was a shape that I intend to create in 3D and build if possible and also the hospital mask, which I made to honor the doctors who fought COVID."

He also admitted to liking modern architecture.

In case you're wondering, it's a suction assembly for handling panes of glass

Roof collects the rain and funnels into a fountain inside would be good

Roof could become a solar rain catching roof because as Samuel Hadd stated " that roof isn't very functional".
