To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history but to articulate it.

I believe very strongly, and have fought since many years ago - at least over 30 years ago - to get architecture not just within schools, but architecture talked about under history, geography, science, technology, art.

All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.

The Majestic Tree
They bow to the winds that pass
The beautiful majestic trees,
With arms up toward the skies
They laugh in the summer breeze.
They provide shade and shelter for the bee,
He plants history, who plants a tree.
They provide lumber for houses, and barns
For a roof to cover our heads,
Lumber for aeroplanes, ships and cars
And for caskets, to bury our dead.
This is only a few uses you see
He plants history, who plants a tree.
They provide rest for the weary man
Food and protection, for many wild things,
Home and sanctuary, for millions of birds
And rock their babies to sleep in swings.
Their magestic grace so wild and free
He plants history, who plants a tree.

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.

The computer and its information cannot answer any of the fundamental questions we need to address to make our lives more meaningful and humane. The computer cannot provide an organizing moral framework. It cannot tell us what questions are worth asking. It cannot provide a means of understanding why we are here or why we fight each other or why decency eludes us so often, especially when we need it the most. The computer is... a magnificent toy that distracts us from facing what we most need to confront — spiritual emptiness, knowledge of ourselves, usable conceptions of the past and future.

We are stymied by regulations, limited choice and the threat of litigation. Neither consultants nor industry itself provide research which takes architecture forward.

Dan Brown Declared He Is Not Anti-Christian?
read agenda mud lark muddling American writer
who wove thriller fiction into dark dirty history
Lucifer declared himself to be an angel of light
Dan Brown declared he is not anti-Christian
no he is on a sham 'constant spiritual journey'
his travesty 'The Da Vinci Code' is simply
'an entertaining story that promotes
spiritual discussion and debate'
eat as an apple of Brown's mockery
Brown suggests his gay tale may be used
'as a positive catalyst for introspection
and exploration of our faith' as recreated
Brown's preface claim in 'The Da Vinci Code'
avows ' all descriptions of artwork, architecture,
documents and secret rituals in novel are accurate.'
Brown further sly lies '99 percent of it is true.
All of the architecture, the art, the secret rituals,
the history, all of that is true, the Gnostic gospels.
All of that is … all that is fiction, of course, is
that there's a Harvard symbologist named Robert
Langdon, and all of his action is fictionalized'
Really come clean clown muddle Brown behold experts
crucified your orchestrated litany of bias novel lies
is your parody a calculated attack on Christianity?
Any classicist worth his her salt can proof attest
multitudes of early documents confirming divinity
Christ sacred martyrdom sacrifice by his believers
no Brown for first three centuries Christians
did not view Jesus 'as a mortal prophet, a great
and powerful man, but a man nonetheless.'
Then as it is today Christians ponder alluring mystery
intriguing exact relationship between God and Jesus
sacred council Nicea all shared belief in Jesus' divinity

I was going to be an architect. I graduated with a degree in architecture and I had a scholarship to go back to Princeton and get my Masters in architecture. I'd done theatricals in college, but I'd done them because it was fun.
