Preface

This book is a collection of haiku poems that were written during my years as an architecture student. The poetry is derived from the countless images of iconic architecture that I would come across on a daily basis.

The art of building...rhythm to play with shadow-

Experiences

Marry art and craft!Equally meticulous-

nature is love

Bath born of mountain...marked by humans through time-

Face what surpasses

Concept of movement...hide and seek among the trees-

Imposing presence

The doors fold away...In spills light, natural air-

No walls, No divide

A second Nature!Music, Literature, Art-

an understanding

Eruption in Downtown!Refl ect, absorb the city-

Proudly and Playful

Forms by memory...The need to be surrounded-Through our cones, not rods

A testing journey...Oriented in the world-

ghostly everything

Void is the feature...It is not about symbols-

Walking History!

Wall without windows...illuminate the facade-A screen you can’t see

Intensley aware...Nothing. Everything happens-

God. In the details

On man and nature...Sensitivity and Play-

Build naturally

New garden concept...Carrying on Tradition-

Ideas will blend.
