///Fall 08
So i am blogging, i never knew that i would do one of these things, i have always kept a journal of my thoughts, but i had never had people read them. They are mainly just ramblings. These ramblings are pretty much architecture related, and about theory. Today as it seems everyday i get some divine inspiration about architecture and the amazingness of it. I had a conversation with a classicist today (someone who mainly focuses on classical architecture) and we talked about the flaws in design classes today. I love thinking and reading about architecture, especially when the topic is emotion and relationships of architecture. This guy i talked to today was telling me how he likes to think about the grid of a city and plan the way buildings lie on that site. I cringed when i heard that, not that i think he is wrong, i am sure that he enjoys it, but i cant find the joy in it at all. Architecture is about emotion, about the feeling you get when you put yourself in a certain space. The colors and the smells and the reflections of the different materials around you. Enough ranting, bed time nite. -Christopher
