Betwixt & Between

It is difficult to say when you get interested in architecture or that it makes you angry. It’ is also difficult to describe the emotional turmoil that the trappings of history play on the unsuspecting practitioner; where time stands stil and occupies spaces that architecture has not yet even contemplated. A feature of the discipline is that it unearths mysteries before their time; excavating for the future about tomorrow’s vision. The idea of envisioning a building is that it can carriy attributes that words can not express; it takes time for things to surface. We can now see clearly.
