So music is where it’s at. well it is for me. And i think the reason why architecture is so miss-understood is just like music. Music is noise to most people; Sound to get them through the day, to move them, to make them exercise; nothing more.
But to a musician, music is so much more. It’s
like a painting of sounds, all complicated and intermeshed into one
fabric, into one snapshot of an emotion or feeling; Or an experience.

And this is where people miss out. It is phenomenally complicated in its entirety, and even most musicians barely understand a very small amount of it. Like the way sound works, or sound is made. The way instruments function or why they are. The history, and even; where did music come from. And architecture is the same.
We are not just creating a product, available from iTunes, or as most people would assume, delphin. Most of that shit is exactly that; shit; a design for a blank block of nothingness.
Design is more than that.
It’s capturing the needs and wants of the users.
The lifestyle of its inhabitants.

A style of the now, or of a time.
Its
materials, products, spaces, emotions, philosophies, emotions, and even
phycology of the space, not just a product or image, but snapshots in
time, for all time, for all users, forever; Well, as close as possible
to.
And that’s why we’re all pretty much insane as architects. Because just to a very small and broad understanding of what architecture is and what it can be, it’s immense. And to delve deeper, is to understand so much of the world all at once, that one has only one option but to be a little crazy.
It’s an obsession, but one i love every second of. .
Because, I’m designer…
