If one has understood, how to open the doors of Space to Nature, one has become an Architect.
If one has told the story of that door to everyone, one has become a storyteller as well :-)

Eat to Appreciete, Not to Finish.
I would like to give, to my children, a project which they don't have to finish.
A Project which they don't have to submit to get grades or appreciation from teacher.
This project will be to appreciete the project & its details itself.
Lets Compare it with having a Great Lunch.
let a few friends get together & collect a few nice things they love to eat.
Now; instead of finishing the lunch in 30 minutes, start eating slowly & writing or talking about one's likeness of that dish (don't collect things which ya don't like).
one might like the color of the food, the sound, the taste, the nutrients, aroma & so on...
Eventually everyone will be full, they shall all finish their lunch.
Then just recollect those thoughts which came up while having lunch & talk about it.
Similary, their shall be a design project where the process of design shall be appreciated. The intentions of design shall be understood, the objectives, the pitfalls,
But this process shall be performed with honest & hard-working pupils alone to avoid procrastination.

Concept vs Construction
What an exciting job is a Contractor's !!
Pure Logic & Reasoning... at every moment.
To Device clean, logical steps to reach a Magnificant Destination.
Reminds me of a Mountaneering Team, moving up to the top of the mountain; towards that Purely beautiful view.
I love building, managing every step of its process.
But unless i know every detail of materials & all methods of building; there is no point in aspiring to design for the cause, that i really want to address.
is the idea/ aspiration of design more important ?
or the knowledge of building the design more important ?
if i dream of an idea, without knowing the method to realize it; its no good.
But,
if i know all the possible methods of building the design at present; does it mean that i will be able to build that new kind of design as well ? I mean, don't we improve upon/ device new methods for every new design ? So even after knowing everything about building, i might still encounter a design which i want to build but have no idea, how.
How is this situation different from above, where i dream of an idea, without knowing the method to realize it ?
on the other hand,
if i have an idea & i dont know how to build it or if it cant be built, then it will prompt me to refine the idea.
its a constant learning process.
dreaming of new ideas & testing them with the material & method.
But its true, that the idea must come first.
Yes !!

Temptation Buisness
In Mind, temptation is an Idea; that the temptation (Desire) is full of joy, happiness, taste & that it is beatiful & satisfying. I must go for it now !!
In Reality, temptation is an Orange which is Dry inside; but beautiful outside, from a distance.
The entire world of Buisness rests on the ground of this One Idea- Temptation.
Without temptation, there is no buisness; Literally, No Buisness.
From selling water to Airplane, its about temptation.
At this point i believe, Comfort is another word for temptation.
People, who actually need the products available, are perhaps 1%.
Rest of them buy, because they gave in to their temptation.
Architecture is no exception, it is about learning to engineer temptation of nature, space, materials ....
Nature & space are the primary cravings, Material defines the rich from poor.
Craving creates an excitement, an urge to achieve the desired element.
without craving, life would be dull; there is no doubt about it.
a form of craving leads to destruction.
another form can lead to a beautiful & creative environment; where everybody is happy, healthy, satisfied & working towards achieving clean & great joy.
Is only clean & positive joy possible ? is it boring without crime ?
crime is never good but life needs a little bit of spice to complete itself.
That means, there should be balance between Positive & Spicy desires.
Its allright if i have Positive as well as Negative desires as long as Positive exceeds much more than Negative.
I still dont feel right about my Negative emotions. Am I a Perfectionist ??
I must FOCUS on the Positive Desires, whenever i get to make the choice.
It keeps the Guilt & other Connected Negative Emotions Away.
