my discipline is architecture
my strategy is non-violence

growth is violent

one way to become an architect is
to do something everyday tht you have never done before.

although my eyes hurt ever so much
like there were thousands of pins in it
ditto wid ears, mouth dry:..

i m a survivor

rachana is asking
is being soundless the same as silence
( shayad smwhr i know its not ..
then how to deal wid soundlessness)
dealing wid silence is to tke the nxt best action..

+exactly how territorial are we
how important are boundaries and fences
wht are the various threshholds and transitions
how important is the #$%^&* foreverness of architecture

tools and measures
these r first things u lose
whn u start losing

love is only tht which is physical
or is it

gradually u realise
all things are one

an architect is a juggler
tht juggles with his flexi-wand

the human species survived due to
trade and community living

why do contradictions ever even exist?
when there's a part of your theory or practice left unanswered,
thats when contradictions occur..

My fathers' village touched the Narmadaji

So full so madmati..

So whats the lute

IT, ARCH % Etc

take Zen.
Indianize it,
Becomes jain.
Simplify it,
Becomes jan.
Jan means people
In between all this;
An architect stands.
How he stands there, no-one knows.
Why he stands there, Only he knows.

love yourself everyday
do good things for others
but also give to yourself.

release the child within you
so you can sing, laugh & play

list the things that

that you do best

& give urself a hug.

fulfill a secret wish
laugh at urself
and Above All
Remember you are Loved

embrace your dreams
within your heart
save one little, secret spot
where dreams may go
and sheltered so
will thrive and grow
where doubt and fear are not.

keep a place apart
within your heart
for little dreams to go.

The Jewish Museum Berlin

The design of the Jewish Museum engenders a fundamental rethinking of architecture. The museum exhibits the social, political and cultural history of Jews in Berlin from the 4th Century to the present. The new extension is connected to the Baroque building via underground axial roads. The longest one leads to the Stair of Continuity and to the Museum itself; the second leads to the Garden of Exile and Emigration and the third axis leads to the dead end of the Holocaust Void. The displacement of the spirit is made visible through the straight line of the Void which cuts the ensemble as a whole, connecting the museum exhibition spaces to each other via bridges. The Void is the impenetrable emptiness across which the absence of Berlin's Jewish citizens is made apparent to the visitor.

Cutting through the form of the Jewish Museum is a Void, a straight line whose impenetrability forms the central focus around which the exhibitions are organized. In order to cross from one space of the Museum to the other, the visitors traverse sixty bridges which open into the Void space; the embodiment of absence.

With its special emphasis on the Jewish dimension of Berlin's history, this building gives voice to a common fate - to the contradictions of the ordered and disordered, the chosen and not chosen, the vocal and silent. This Museum is not only a response to a particular program, but an emblem of Hope. Daniel Libeskind

tolerance

2006-03-23T15:29:00.000-08:00

the next best thing to work hard upon is tolerance

just a few years ago i was good at it

whatever happened

tolerance towards beliefs, behaviours, attitudes, word- language, barriers, conventions, prejudices, systems, patterns, mindsets, anarchy, stereotypes, heartbumps trespassing

all the little details and the big things, and issues.

someone's sneezecough can irritate me, or my own inability to wake early morn

DOUGHNUT
One perfect circle of air-cushioned dough encircling another one of empty space Few achievements have equaled this level of form marrying function
should also be noted that they taste damn good

COMPLIMENT
If you are hated by the right people, it’s a compliment

why are we always searching to define words & everything in our lives?

though we may never realise this, we are always moving in a certain part of a huge circle that has really no fixed diameter
our actions and roles define the material and body of this circle
most of it remains undefined

there is no permanence

last week i was mostly on the roads driving to different places seeking jobs
the poor state of an unemployed!
every space had a distinct energy but the actions seemed all stereotype
i couldnt quite comprehend how to define a particular place
why was i looking to define anyway? i guess i wanted to place a placeholder on everything to classify it in my mind...to place everything in a column or a row

at the end of my travel, i find that there is really no grid to definitions and the journey has no destination

sorry no full stops in my text...dont like them
..would rather have a series of such before a sentence rather than an isolated one at the end

the observer & the observed

2006-01-19T12:19:00.000-08:00

bladerunner is a must see. didnt get parts of the movie, but guess figured the philosophy. set in 2019 (not too far off) LA, the main theme revolves around these 'made up' humans called replacements. ...who are used for wars/ menial work etc and then executed (retired). the climax is awsome where you realise that the villan is not really a villan...sets are great especially the big moving screen (which also is a 100 storey bldg. facade) that appears off and on with a image of a woman's face, the interior spaces and ligtht effects..very well designed. although it gets spooky at times...maybe they could have intergrated scenes with more lighted spaces.
here is an analysis of the philosophy---
the observer who is yourslef, is made up of memories, experiences, accidents, influences, traditions & infinite types of suffering, all of which are past. the observer is both the past & the present & tomorrow is waiting & that is also a part of him. He is half alive & half dead.
One image, as the observer, observes dozens of other images around himself & inside himself, & he either likes them and keeps them or dislikes them and discards them. But the observer himself has been put together by the various images which have come into being through reaction to various other images. The other images are the result of judgements, opinions & conclusions by the observer, & the observer is the result of all the other images - therefore the observer is the observed.
(J K - Freedom from the Known)

coming back to the q Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? ofcourse they do, since its only an image from their past/ present/ future life. Just like an artist painting a tree becomes the experiencer experiencing the beauty, the movement, the shadow, the depth of a leaf, the quality of colr etc...and at some point he does not identify the tree but becomes the tree. there was no space between the observer and the observed...similarly at some point the androids become the sheep.

to tread the sharp edge of a sword,
to run on smooth frozen ice,
one needs no footsteps to follow.
walk over the cliffs with hands free..

do androids dream of electric sheep?
