There is an old saying that goes "ignorance is no excuse". Well, at this point one could take it a stop further and say ignorance can be fatal. A young person today must have the technology and the know-how. Never before has self sufficiency and education been so important and they are virtually inseparable from survival.

All photographs were made in the working process of the architectural studio forja.
