architecture, art
My ultimate dream is to build in space. I am an abstract thinker. In order to build in space, I believe that one has to build first for the many peoples and societies on this earth. What are our common values? What can breach the vastness of space that we only in this century begin to discover? Art in orbit has become a reality. Architecture must follow if we believe in and find the necessity to explore. A sacred space where we can measure what is human to what is the solar system, to galaxy, and ultimately the universe. For this I have an idea in mind. But at once I feel that service to the inhabitants of the earth is a foundation for reaching our loftier goals. To build temples, parks, churches, institutional buildings of culture, schools, court houses, hospitals, gas stations, entertainment and recreation venues, housing, parkades, office buildings, monuments, libraries, and so on: these are architecture for the everyday person. Though their needs may differ, the purpose is the same - shelter, enclosure, openness, programmatic requirements, communication, and at the utmost, inspiration. This inspiration can cross boundaries; art and architecture are bridges, abstract bridges that can reach beyond space and time.
