U ARE LOU

Worship (to Louis Kahn)

It is a very personal image expression, but unfortunately this personal expression finally condenses into a sentence, let go, goodbye. I think there must be some kind of self-moving element in it. After all, the child has a search obsession, trying to understand and empathize with his father. Of course, he can give himself some relief, but just like the author's mother as the third The incognito wife was convinced that Kang was looking for her before her death. This kind of letting go was expected early on, and it was a last resort for life. I think for the author personally, this conclusion is the result of the journey to find his father. The footnote was a failure, revealing the tragedy between the three families. The conversation of the three (half-sisters) in the suburbs of Philadelphia was more of a forcible bond for broken emotions, and I was amazed by the amount of sacrifice women made in Kang's life. Feminine dedication and Kang's so charming personality.

I was moved by the encounter I saw in the process of searching. What impressed me the most was the embrace of the captain and the author. The captain almost collapsed and said: The world is crazy, u are Lou. I think it's too shocking. For the captain, the road is no longer an entity, but a spiritual companion. Architecture uses its real and tactile materials to build a practical space. It does not repeat any truths and stories to anyone, but it can impress you and improve your life. The road in life may be bad for the captain or any collaborator, and it may be unpleasant to get along, but the expression and philosophy of the road have benefited them a lot. This hug is like the beauty of the building itself, with the help of a subtle The entity engaged in a silent intercourse with you

My Architect quotes

  • Louis Kahn: A work of art... is not a living thing... that walks or runs. But the making of a life. That which gives you a reaction. To some it is the wonder of man's fingers. To some it is the wonder of the mind. To some it is the wonder of technique. And to some it is how real it is. To some, how transcendent it is. Like the 5th Symphony, it presents itself with a feeling that you know it, if you have heard it once. And you look for it, and though you know it you must hear it again. Though you know it you must see it again. Truly, a work of art is one that tells us that Nature cannot make what man can make.

  • Louis Kahn: When you want to give something presence, you have to consult nature. And there is where design comes in. If you think of brick, for instance, you say to brick, "What do you want, brick?" And brick says to you, "I like an arch." And if you say to brick, "Look, arches are expensive, and I can use a concrete lintel over you. What do you think of that, brick?" brick says, "I like an arch."

    Louis Kahn: And it's important, you see, that you honor the material that you use. You don't bandy it around as though you said, "Well, we have a lot of material around. We can do it one way, we can do it another." It's not true. You can only do it if you honor the brick, and glorify the brick, instead of just shortchanging it.
