Building Heaven, Remembering Earth: Confessions of a fallen architect

"I had thought this study was about architecture and nature and then I thought it was about homelessness, a wanderer knowing he may never have a home and then I realized that what I wanted to talk about was the lack of coherence and meaning in the world around me..."<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The work became a diarist account, having the feel of an 'on the go' millennium-end tour of some of the world's architectural sites . The intent was to create an essay about the complex of architecture, in its social and ideal forms. The work, of necessity, is cross cultural, situating itself through a nomadic and trans historical perspective into a future of associative cultural references. The work is an expansive, real and imaginary journey, at times self reflexive (and thus questioning) of its own panoptic complicity.<br />

The document is a plenitude of investigation; at times a roaming leisurely reverie, at other times or modalities a maze of alhambraic intensity and transparency, a mirroring of human urgency in the face of crisis - personal and cultural.
