A discussion on architecture, built structures, and urban spaces in cities I have lived or visited. As an architect, I believe in what Leon Battista Alberti said as he was quoted in a book: "'Quasi come un animale' that is to say, its form acts from within outwards." With that in mind, I don't know what to make of architecture after Postmodernism.

The Biosphere, Montreal
Buckminister Fuller's geodesic dome in Montreal, re-purposed silos in St. Jacob remind me of this: "Everything in nature is formed according to the sphere, the cone and the cylinder" Cezanne. Hmm, I wonder what in nature inspires structures like that of Mies van der Rohe's Dominion Center or my own office building - school project. Absolutely no comparison of grandeur intended, PLEASE!
