Architecture and Rock-n-Roll are dead.
Funny, but the best rock ballade of all times sounds very… architecturally, it’s called “Stairway to Heaven”. I think Frank Lloyd Wright would love Led Zeppelin, after all in the Guggenheim Museum he introduced pretty cool solution for such stairway…
Inception of Architecture
The main definition of this dreamy reality is Maze. Labyrinth. That’s the only architectural program Ariadne (remember the Greek mythology, right?) is given by her client. So how do you design a mystic infinite space linked to the relativity of time in that new dimension?
Sketch and the City
Sensual impressions of the architect: Paris, Moscow, Toronto. …If I were a woman I would like to conceive my child in Paris. …If I were a woman I would like to meet my lover in Moscow. …If I were a woman I would like to have my wedding dance in Toronto.
Chicago
… Al Capone virtually owned Chicago. He was notorious for enmeshing the Windy City in everything from bootlegged booze and prostitution to murder. Capone had a lawyer nicknamed “Easy Eddie”… Eddie lived the high life of the Chicago mob and gave little consideration to the atrocity that went on around him.

Why modern architects are so untalented.
Let’s cut the bullshit, modern architects are not creative souls or passionate intellectuals looking for golden ratio or universal harmony in School of Athens debate. Mostly they are a bunch of low-level manufacturers, which are very far from any creative impulses not to mention a Divine intervention…
Why modern architecture is so hideous.
Modern architecture sucks. You know why? Because architects suck. Simple as that. They suck in their central role – role of being Gods presenting world with the original creations.
