Was it the form, the function, the divinity of spaces within and without, the play of light against the darkness, the hidden structures underneath the beautiful skins of glass.. I think its was the mystery of Architecture itself.

How do we perceive the shape and spirit of the cities we live in? We too often disconnect from our urban spaces, but in doing so we forget that we’re always creatu …

I was still aware of all of the suffering in the world but knew that from a higher perspective that it was all ok, it was all perfect.
