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.
