The logic of Palladian architecture presented an aesthetic formula which could be applied universally.

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.

Without this spirit, Modernist architecture cannot fully exist. Since there is often a mismatch between the logic and the spirit of Modernism, I use architecture to reconcile the two.

I loved logic, math, computer programming. I loved systems and logic approaches. And so I just figured architecture is this perfect combination.
Architecture is a art when one consciously or unconsciously creates aesthetic emotion in the atmosphere and when this environment produces well being.

In addressing a task, one almost always has several possible options, sometimes only a few, and they may all be practical and functional. But they lack the aesthetic aspect that raises it to architecture.

Logic suffers
Desire blurs the logic.
Passion wounds the logic.
Fear maims the logic.
Rage kills the logic.
They spring from instincts
To protect the self
And hence ignore the logic.
Logic is meant for the third person.

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

The want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic, and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced.

Images Presented
The image that's presented,
Determines how impressive...
Those pretentious rush to protect.
And the image that's presented,
Has less to do with intellect.
Or competence and its effect,
Upon those expecting...
Much more than an image projected to accept.
Images old have molded.
Although repeatedly they have been sold!
Those images presented,
Represent times gone.
Those images presented,
Have been rusted so long.
Those images presented,
Do not feed!
Those images presented,
No one needs now!
Those images presented represent a decadence.
And they represent with evidence pretentions that are meant.
Those images presented do not feed.
Those images presented no one needs,
Now.
Those images presented represent a decadence.
And they represent with evidence pretentions that are meant.
Those images presented do not feed.
Those images presented no one needs,
Now.
Those images presented,
Represent times gone.
Those images presented,
Have been rusted so long.
Those images presented do not feed.
Those images presented no one needs,
Now.
Those images presented represent a decadence.
And they represent with evidence pretentions that are meant.
Images old have molded.
Although repeatedly they have been sold!

Happier
logic can be so tiring,
though sweet and straightforward
but it can be too exacting
and sometimes it does not work for us
it serves us a bowl of
destruction
less the imagination
hating the temporary cure of a fantasy
an illusion of glass
and light
and the provision for smell
of rare oils of lavender and
lemon
do you know that i have given too much reasoning
in exchange for the cold glass of
passivity?
i mean, just sitting down thinking about nothing
discarding the formula for living
like a bowl of clay under the sun
containing upon itself the song and caress of
sunlight
so gentle like a waft of air
around its ring
it is when i discharge what i have
when i surrender what i think i must be
that i become
fully alive
logic can be murderous
not allowing any twist of fate
on solid predictions
of this and that
with no allowance for a miracle
logic can kill us
how can it entertain other possibilities?
it is all numbers and facts
for which life is not.
i embrace possibilities now
as logic taunts and laughs
i am patient, i listen, i entertain what is hidden
from the grasp of the hands of theorems.
you see, i am relaxed, you should see the smile in my face
happier than the morning sun
the morning daisy.

Mathematics as an expression of the human mind reflects the active will, the contemplative reason, and the desire for aesthetic perfection. Its basic elements are logic and intuition, analysis and construction, generality and individuality.

Continuously But Dramatically
Continuing quietly is brave
Quitting quietly is brave
I just see open plain that seems to spread any directions
nature is idleness itself
universally competent
universally torturing
