What I Love: Vol 1
April 8, 2008I love architecture.
I love great spaces, love great light, love great materials, love great volumetrics.
I love stained glass, tall rooms, diffuse lighting.
I love the ecofire company (and what they make) for my love of fire without the soot and emissions.
I love the quote by Winston Churchill :”We shape our buildings, then our buildings shape us.”
I love the simple yet sublime geometrics, interplay of spaces and quality of light of the great moderns. I love the complex richness and carved surfaces of the gothic. I love the solid simplicity of the ancients. And how each of those show up in each other, and in combination in the new today.
I love the power of the monument (and monumental). I love the beauty and whole-istic-ness of small constructions.
I love surprise. I love spaces that fit like a great robe.
I love adaptive reuse!
thanks to your story..good
