Wrong vs. Right

I had a belief that I deemed rock solid. But now, given that (a = belief) + (b = action) = (c = feeling), then the right feeling (c) resultant of a wrong action (b) that does not adhere to the right belief (a), causes the action to be questioned as correct. But it can only be measured, if it's to be measured at all, by the feeling produced. And when it is not coherent with the belief then it must be concluded that the latter must be revised.

When a wrong produces a right, then the wrong must have never been wrong at all.

And the only wrong then must have been the belief in wrong. So, I'm caused - forced, without a choice, but to question my wrongs and rights. For, in fact, the right action is to dispel them all together.

PANTONE Color of the Year 2010

Pantone is pleased to announce

PANTONE

15-5519 Turquoise,

an inviting, luminous hue, as the

Color of the Year for 2010.

Combining the serene qualities of blue and the invigorating aspects of green, Turquoise inspires thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a comforting escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of wellbeing.

In many cultures, Turquoise is believed to be a protective talisman, a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and

truth, inspired by water and sky. Through years of color word

-association studies, we also find that to many people, Turquoise represents an escape, taking them to a tropical paradise that is pleasant and inviting – even if it is only a fantasy.

Whether envisioned as a tranquil ocean surrounding a tropical island or a protective stone warding off evil spirits, Turquoise is a color that most people respond to positively. It is universally flattering, has appeal for men and women, and translates easily to fashion and interiors. With both warm and cool undertones, Turquoise pairs nicely with any other color in the spectrum. Turquoise adds a splash of excitement to neutrals and browns, complements reds and pinks, creates a classic maritime look with deep blues, livens up all other greens, and is especially trend-setting with yellow-greens.

LE CORBUSIER, "Toward an Architecture"

" The styles are a lie. Style is a unity of principle that animates all the works of an era and results from a distinctive state of mind.

Architecture is the use of raw materials to establish stirring relationships.

Spirit of order. Unity of intention.

Passion can make drama out of inert stone.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Architecture is an artistic fact, an emotional phenomenon that is outside questions of construction, beyond them.

Construction: THAT'S FOR MAKING THINGS HOLD TOGETHER; Architecture: THAT'S FOR STIRRING EMOTION.

Architectural emotion: that's when the work resounds inside us in tune with a universe whose laws we are subject to, recognize and admire. When certain relationships are achieved, we are apprehended by the work. Architecture is a matter of "relationships", a "pure creation of the mind".

Art no longer tells stories, it prompts meditation.

THREE REMINDERS TO ARCHITECTS:

1. Volume

2. Surface

3. Plan

Architecture has nothing to do with the "styles".

Louis XV, XVI, XIV and Gothic are to architecture what feathers are to a woman's head; they are pretty sometimes, but not always, and nothing more.

Architecture has graver ends; capable of sublimity, it touches the most brutal instincts through its objectivity; it appeals to the highest of the faculties, through its very abstraction. Architectural abstraction has the distinctive and magnificent quality that, while being rooted in brute fact, it spiritualizes this, because brute fact is nothing other than the materialization, the symbol of a possible idea. Brute fact is amenable to ideas only through an order that is projected onto it. The emotions aroused by architecture emanate from physical conditions that are ineluctable, irrefutable, forgotten today.

Volume and surface are the elements through which architecture manifests itself. Volume and surface are determined by the plan. It is the plan that is the generator. So much the worse for those who lack imagination! "

From my mother I learned to speak and listen to nature and for that I am extremely grateful.

As time passes by, I come to realize more and more how little I know. I think the younger we are the more we think we know and the older we get the more we realize our true ignorance. At first, the whole process is very frustrating. But, with time, I've come to find it humbling and truly a relief. I don't need to understand. I don't need to know. I know all I need to know at each given time to make the best choices for my life at that moment.

Le Gallerie - The Tunnels in Trento, Italy

D e c e m b e r 2 0 0 9

Gruppe Gut retrofitted two 300m tunnels in the town of Trento to house temporaryexhibits. The first of its kind showcased the film 1914-1918: I Trentini e la Grande Guerra, un popolo scomparso e la sua storia ritrovata (by FilmWork). Projected images, films and sounds create a walk through phantoms in the black tunnel of immersion. Next door, the white tunnel is separated into three diferent exhibit areas. The first contains 8 boxes mimicking the "huts in the Towns of Wood: refugee camps".

Next, it hosted the "Historically ABC" exhibit on the history of the region of Trentino. A new modular system was developed for the white tunnel and teaching gardens framed the entrances of both.
