Defining nature as an
“inexhaustible source of
inspiration”, the architect
draws inspiration from it by
observing to natural forms and
elements, for example, shells,
trees, leaves, vegetal forms,
minerals and countless others.
Comparing resources between architecture and interior design,
Radu Dragan explained that, while in the former doesn’t allow
for a wide selection of materials, relying mostly on matters, such
as concrete, metal, wood and Corian, the latter has no “structur-
al constraints” and one is capable of inventing and creating to
almost limits which almost happens as a disadvantage, because
going forward, everyone expects something original each time.

Citing modern artists such as Louis Kahn, Le Corbusier as his
main references due to their mystical and silenced approach to-
wards art, Radu Dragan feels as thou in our contemporary world,
something is absent, as he explains, “The buildings of our time
don’t transmit silence. I know, it was said that architecture
is frozen music, but this was said by Goethe, it is a Romantic
thinking. Architecture has not to be music, it has to be silence.”
