oh, the biggest “starchitect” of them all: Mr. Wright! i visited the first house he designed (his own) on a rainy day in a suburb of chicago – it was cold and my son was nagging but we both left the house elated…along with Mies van der Rohe, F.L. Wright has been one of my favorite architects and responsible for my later appreciation of this art. koolhaas, herzog and de meuron, zaha hadid, johnson and the great louis khan all came afterwards to me.
Architects are somehow divine in their own right – they imagine, create and build great things. Wright is right to call God and Nature intermittently…

I love the roof and the Door of this place. I guess its an entrance to a stable or a store house.
I had seen a Documentary called My Son, The Architect by Louis Kahn son. It was a beautiful docu, with some incisive interviews with other contemporary architects. In all his works it was very evident that he strives for building a MONUMENT which is more like he is trying to communicate with GOD.
One of the attributes that makes us human is that we try to make sense of things that don't make sense. We often impute order where there may be none...
These traits occasionally can lead us to form conclusions that don't correspond to reality ..
Poetry & Entropy
If you ask me what my poetry is, I must answer : I don’t know but if you ask my poetry, it will tell you who I am -- Pablo Neruda
Passion
The voice of Passion is better than voice of reason. The passionless can not change history-
Czeslaw Milosz
Reflection
To be nobody but yourself, in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle that any human being can fight--and never stop fighting.
-E.E. Cummings
Thoughts
I should not talk so much about myself if there was anybody else whom I knew as well. Unfortunately, I am confined to this theme by the narrowness of my experience. - Henry David Thoreau
