“Human beings can be divided into two tendencies. The large majority remain locked in the past. They produce nothing but imitation and degradation of what they imitate. The others, a minority, are fully involved in an effort to understand the present-to prepare for tomorrow and reveal it.”
Andre’ Wogenscky
from Le Corbusier’s Hands
The Larkey foundation has poured. Check that sunken tub, level with the floor and adjacent courtyard. We’re rocking now!
An A.D. Stenger designed house. We are adding an elegant, low key addition that will not overpower the original low slung lines.
so little time! We’re back from a memorable trip to Mexico. MJ and I love Mexico DF and its people. We were treated by Guillermo Plazola and co. with such warmth and gallantry that we didn’t want to come back. The lecture went very well, and after it, MJ and I felt like rock stars, being asked to pose for pictures, give interviews, invites for dinner, huy!!!!
We figured that architecture presentations are so boring and dry as a norm that we would spice it up a bit and I created two little movies, one for each project, that were very well received. It also helped that I spoke Spanish and made them laugh. M.J. had a simultaneous translator that must’ve been good, because no one seemed too bored and we had more questions than anyone at the end of our lecture…
Another highlight of the trip was meeting Neil Denari, yes THE very one and only. The guy’s work is out of this world! It’s great to see that he’s finally getting to build his amazing stuff. VV
