The
vernacular house versus the monumental public
building, the anonymous local architect-builder
versus the commissioned cosmopolitan architect:
architecture excites me in these oppositions.
I combine Architecture & Living here because
how we choose to live is the most important
decision we make. Our opinions
of architecture symbolize our opinions about
the right way to live. |

or 'Population Crises,' we should recognize
the extent to which they all are rooted in
the larger crisis of our inadequate, narrow
perceptions of reality." More... |

A
Winter Retreat |
|
| This
was my first attempt to describe the 'telescoping
of time' that occurred in Japan as the cities
began to modernize and urbanites to base their
lives on commerce, while life in the countryside
remained much as it had for centuries. As
