Is made from the
colors of millions of carefully placed dots, notes of music, watercolor
drops, pencil points,
tiny marks on canvas.

We must continue to discover and
rediscover those areas of passion that drive and propel the impulses of creative
initiatives.

a note from ArchAngel:
“stuff in a child’s brain”
|
|
mANY THINGS
ARE SAID TO A CHILD WHILE GROWING INTO AN ADULT.
tHESE
“THINGS” COLLECT WITHIN THE MIND AND “SPIN” THE IMAGINATION.
mY FATHER,
ANDREW TOLD ME THAT CANNIBALISM WAS THE RESULT OF PEOPLE NEEDING SALT IN
THEIR DIET! tHIS IDEA LOCKED-IN AND BECAME A BELIEF UNTIL I WAS 21 YEARS
OLD!
aNDREW KEPT
A BOOK OF “WORDS” AS HIS REFERENCE WHILE ENJOYING CROSS WORD PUZZLES AT
MORNING COFFEE. gOOD STUFF- CLARITY OF THE MEANING OF WORDS AND HOW THEY
COULD BE USED. SAVED IN A NOTEBOOK TO DO THE PUZZLE!
dAD’S BOOK WAS LOST AFTER HIS DEATH- SO
IN SOME WAY I AM RECORDING MY LIST OF WORDS AND THE ASSOCIATIONS THEY
CONJURE UP FOR ME.
SO WHAT
WE “HEAR, REMEMBER, AND
BELIEVE” WILL GENERATE ASSOCIATIONS THAT MAY BE TRUE OR FALSE, REAL OR
UNREAL, VISIBLE OR INVISIBLE.
tHIS IS THE
REASON FOR MY LITTLE BOOK OF “SMOOTH SAYINGS”. tHESE “PITHY” STATEMENTS
FROM TIME TO TIME HAVE TRIGGERED NEW THOUGHTS OR SERVED TO STIMULATE A
WAY OF SAYING SOME “PROFOUND
TRUTH” THAT IS ON MY MIND AND NEEDS TO BE EXPRESSED.
tHE LIST
HAS SERVED ME FOR YEARS AND A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION IN THOSE MOMENTS WHEN
BLANK CANVAS OR PAPER IS BEFORE ME..
i HAVE
FOUND THIS “STUFF” IN DREAMS, NEWSPAPERS, FRAGMENTED CONVERSATIONS WITH
STRANGERS, MOVIE DIALOGUES, ADVERTISEMENT FROM THE TV- PICKING UP THIS
COMMENT- THEN THAT COMMENT KEEPING THIS ONE- THROWING THE OTHER AWAY.
I SAY TO ANYONE INTERESTED “LOOK AND SEE!”

PHILIPPE STARCK:"Why design?"
STARCK recalls spending his childhood
underneath his father's drawing boards; hours spent sawing, cutting,
gluing, sanding, dismantling bikes, motor cycles and other objects.
Endless hours, a whole lifetime spent taking
apart and putting back together whatever comes to hand, remaking the
world around him.
He is tireless in changing the realities of our
daily life, sublimating our roots and the deepest wellsprings of our
being into his changes.

Aguera y arcas: sea drAGON, an invention of Arcas to to study
architecture in multi- media. CREATIVITY: THE CREATOR AND CREATIVITY is
how we cope with creation A creator does things, the persona we project creativity and creation.
|
|
[86.03] Eddi Reader (Singer-England): "What You Do With What You've Got," Design is about all you share.
Design is not about what you have been given: it is about what you give.
What is the use of pushing and shoving? Design is about doing something
with what you have got. What use is there a voice if you do not speak
word of love. What use of colors on a painting unless they touch the sun?
What is the use of a muscle if all you do is shove?

1/ Happiness and how do I get some? we need to live with passion and suffering because
it feels so good when it stops. Where is happiness? The past? The
present? The future? What is happiness?
2/ Happiness and wellbeing:
a deep sense of deep fulfillment that invades and underlies all the joys
and sorrows that come our way- too often we look outside of ourselves- if
we miss something our happiness collapses
3/ Now look at the inner
condition- our inner paradise build something then within yourself- if
you are unhappy within you will look for a window from which to jumb
4/ The experience is
translated within: how do we control or what state of mind? is required
to maintain our well being- anger, strong desire invade our mind and will
torment the inner mind
5/ Not needing recognition
being satisfied that we assisted another person with something without
the need of gratitude::: to be aware- that allows the images to rise on
it- behaind every thought is the essence of consciuoness- the possibility
of transformation::: cannot want
|
|
6/ Many lose the will to survive. One out of
ten are clinically depressed. And, our longevity is increasing by one
year each year. 100 years of age is now a reality.
7/ How might the world end? He lays out the challenges
that face us in the drive to preserve the human race. Will we be wiped
out by an asteroid? Eco-collapse? How about a particle accelerator gone
wild?
|
|
7/ Mystical and Spiritual
thoughts: our minds are invaded by these kinds of things often causing a
mind to become troubled: if it can happen it probably will happen. There
will be adversity and a bleakness of spirit, obsessions, and depressions.
The question remains can we find our way back from such a thing? (SHERWIN NULAND: Yes. Through
electrical shock therapy)
|
|
8/
Synthetic Happiness ( Dan Gilbert): Our
brains are “flight simulators”. Happiness can be “synthensized”. We have
a physcholigical “immune system”:
that is the ability to synthensize happiness. We “re-rank” what
makes us happy. Our longings and desires are overblown because we have
the capacity to synthenized our ability to choose. We must challenge
the idea that we'll be miserable if we don't get what we want. Happiness
"synthetic happiness," and he says it's "every bit as real
and enduring as the kind of happiness you stumble upon when you get
exactly what you were aiming for." We must remember that our brains
often misjudge the circumstance and send the negative message ( the glass
is half empty).
This
Instead, his book ( Dan Gilbert) describes what science has to tell us
about how and how well the human brain can imagine its own future, and
about how and how well it can predict which of those futures it will most
enjoy.

Explores the “mega trends” that create
pessimism other megatrends that
could inspire pessimism. But, he says, there is a more powerful case for
optimism:
1::: ARE WE GOING TO LEAVE
A FUTURE FOR OUR CHILDREN?
2 ::: THE PROBLEMS OF THE FUTURE
We have the power of
collaboartion to bring the soluton scale
3::: Global warming/
disease eradiaction/ education/

4::: Hydrogen, the future fuel? Is this the
best fuel for a carbon free future?
1938-2 billion people 2008 6 billion 2070
9billion
We are about to destroy the planet. Fossil
fuels are destroying the environment.
We must challenge our technologies and suspend carbon: Sunlight to
Bio-Mass (water and soil)- Bio-mass to liquids- to hydrogen.

5:::
Architecture of buildings and cities: Our mission is absolute sustainability. The concept of “cradle to grave” design which will bridge the
needs of ecology and economics (i.e: Ford Motor roof, China cities)
|
|
6::: Juan Enriquez is amazing! I stumbled across his
first book, "As the Future Catches You" a few years ago. It is
the MOST IMPORTANT BOOK I have ever read: The shift from cave paintings
to hieroglyphics, The shift to binary code brought with it the era of
computing and then the Internet, with vast implications for just about
every area of human endeavor. Similarly, the rise of genomics has brought
a shift in code toward the structure of life, with implications that are
slowly revealing themselves. Enriquez
argues that our ability to thrive in the culture created by this shift
depends on our mastery of it, and companies whose futures lie with the
intersecting fates of science, technology, and computing will do well to
mind the knowledge gap -- and not get swallowed up by it.
|
|
7::: James Watson: What makes us”tick”? How did life start? I want to understand what life
is. Watson and Francis Crick, discovered the structure of DNA. Tioday Watson is in
the search for genetic bases for major illnesses.
|
|
8::: Author Robert Wright thinks the crises the human
species now faces are moral in nature, and that our salvation lies in the
intelligent pursuit of self-interest. In his book Nonzero, Wright
argues that life depends on a non-zero-sum dynamic. While a zero-sum game
depends on a winner and loser, all parties in a non-zero-sum game win or
lose together, so players will more likely survive if they cooperate. This
points to an optimistic future of ultimate cooperation among humans -- if
we recognize the game.

[86.2] Divinity
“ … God has given ‘hints’ of
the Divine within the order and beauty found in the Universe.
Supernatural truth is revealed and re-discovered in nature, events,
people, places, & things. The desire to experience the ‘Cosmic Image’
in a specific time and place is an ancient yearning. Cultures find
expression of this belief in the construction of sanctuaries, churches,
and gardens: Holy Places for Worship and Prayer. The Artist and Architect hear the
song of the angels as they give praise to God and are inspired in the
expectation of the good things to come …”
|
|
|
|
[86.3] a hidden desire
Our communion as artisans, painters, sculptors, and architects
remains the ancient longing hidden within hearts of human beginnings: a
cry for unity!
|
|
|
|
[86.4] A way of thinking
Many
pretend to be a symbol of visions: the written word in their hands
becomes a dogma- the Law. The artisan opens to possibilities in the
realization of the ideal.

[86.5] Starlight
Cut
him into tiny stars, place him in the night sky and all will fall deeply
in love with the dawn paying no attention to the light of the garish sun.
Whirlwind
::
We hear It whisper: “All is
waiting for you and kept
safe for you year after
year: beautiful songs,
spectacular paintings of
color and form: where have you been? Where? Where?

[86.6] Harmony
There
was a time when the brilliance of the architect stood parallel to the
intellect of the academic. The builder a finely proportioned spirit in harmony with God.
|
|
|
|
[86.7] Esoteric
The disciplines of Art + Architecture + Spirituality are based
upon both abstractions and experiences. Design a process based on rules
of freedom.
|

|
[86.8] one
What is to be
believed and what is to be learned are Harmonized on the Earth beneath
the Dome of the Heavens: all things are transformed into One.
