The dialogue of architecture has been centered too long around the idea of truth.

The written word is the basic of everything. Most important, the idea, and after that, the dialogue. You can rehash the dialogue as you go along, it 's disgraceful to have to do this, but now and again you have no choice.

The aesthetic of architecture has to be rooted in a broader idea about human activities like walking, relaxing and communicating. Architecture thinks about how these activities can be given added value.

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

Scared Of Myself
Oh how I wish it would end
All of the sceraming
That you all do when I'm
In that deep sleep state of dreaming.
Try as I do to drown out the screaming
Of all of you with my syncronized snoring
And I'm too self-centered and spastic
To open my eyes to the signs of warning.
Those signs of warning
That you put up clear enough for me to see
They're saying that I'm hating who I'm becoming
A spastic-self-centered-b! tch, not quite like I used to be.
I wanted to be different
Then that girl I knew a year ago
But I think I took it too far
Because I've become someone I do not know.
I'm Scaring myself
Maybe even more then I'm scaring any of you
I'm so scared, I need some help
Because I have no idea what to do.
I hate my life, I whisper to myself
As i stare at the cieling, While Lieing on my back
Then i begin to write you a love note
But i only get three words in, before everything went black,
I Am Sorry.....

Winning a competition in architecture is a ticket to oblivion. It's just an idea. Ninety-nine per cent never get built.

An Idea
An Idea can change the world, how many
things can be done from an idea, every piece
of object was an idea, sense the beginning of
time idea was the first thought created in the
mind, an idea is what surround’s every being.
But an idea is still only an idea and it can't be
felt, you cannot touch an idea or kiss it, or hold it,
ideas do not bleed or feel pain or love, an idea
cannot be seen or heard, its created in our thoughts,
but then again an idea can become real. An idea
can be what ever you which it to be, an idea can
be destructive, an idea can be brilliant, I've seen
people get killed in the name of ideas, ideas,
we walk around with a little
light bulb blinking in our thoughts, ideas.

Why people are self centered?
Why people are
Self centered?
Think only about
Themselves
They feel
Their desires are most
Important
Let others go to hell
Not concerned
About others feelings
I and mine reign
Supreme
In their mind
They think
Nobody knows their truth
Forgetting
Truth cannot be hidden
For a long time
Time certainly will teach them
A lesson
One day they shall cry
For support from others
Only to find
There is nobody
To help them
In the vicinity around
They become isolated
Treated as an outcast
Only to repent
Throughout their life
For their deeds and behavior
Which nobody liked

I Wanted To Tell You The Truth
i wanted to tell you the truth
i have long wanted to tell all these to you
years and years
i agonize on the sealing of my lips
my tongue likes to kick out my teeth
rubbing itself on the sides of the gum
my throat is dry
saliva is useless
i have long desired to tell you
about the unwanted departure
my sickness on the sea
the long hours listening to the
engine of the ship
i spoke to myself alone
on that long journey
i arrived at the port with no one meeting me
on that strange land
on that planks of indifference
i have long wished to have the last dialogue with you
but you are no longer there
you wrote a poem
about the naughty boy who shouted 'Fox! fox! fox! '
i've read it.
I gave up.

The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.

Pleasure's fun. It's great, but you can't keep it going forever; just accept the fact that it's here and it's gone, and maybe then again, it will come back, and you'll get to do it again. Joy lasts forever. Pleasure is purely self-centered. It's all about your pleasure: it's about you. It's a selfish, self-centered emotion, that is created by a self-centered motive of greed. Joy is compassion. Joy is giving yourself to somebody else, or something else. And it's a kind of thing that is, in its subtlety and lowness, much more powerful than pleasure. You gethung up on pleasure; you're doomed. If you pursue joy, you will find everlasting happiness.

On a beach
North africa
Nine tribesmen stand alone
Waiting for a distant call
Waiting for the world to answer
Thru' the night of a thousand stars
Encircled by the light
They began to sing a new song
Of forces that surround us

Speaking new languages
They gave forgiveness meaning
New ways of letting go
Each child is born for greatness
With forces that surround them
