Goethe once called architecture “a kind of petrified music.” And we’re not going to recommend that you repeat that quote to anyone, because you won’t have left this article with any clearer sense of what it means. Why accumulate this kind of casual knowledge? The first step to approaching an architecture discussion with confidence is to learn some names to drop.

TED | Profile More About Me An idea worth spreading "The developed world has a vast, under-utilized asset that is not being leveraged to its best advantage: idealistic people who want to make the world a better place.

Το πιο σπουδαίο έργο του βρίσκεται στο Cancun στο Μεξικό. Δες περισσότερα στην προσωπική ιστοσελίδα του καλλιτέχνη
