5 Architecture

  • 1. Does an architecture to assuage the spirit have a place?
  • 2. Architecture is invention.
  • 3. I probably spent the first 20 years of my life wanting to be as American as possible. Through my 20s and into my 30s I began to become aware of how so much of my art and architecture has a decidedly Eastern character.
