In an effort to fully understand what excites you in terms of architecture and design, We have created a profiling system. All leading to the hopes of finding what excites you. In tagalog: “Gusto naming hulihin ang kilti niniyo”. You can achieve these through Archi-Typing Ideologies.
In the process we’ve concluded that profiling in terms of architectural style is not enough. To fully understand one’s style and preference, we need to fully understand what goes on in someone’s head. We need to grasp what a person embodies, assess his or her reaction towards different styles.
