How To Become A Famous Architect

Took this from a conversation between a Architecture critic and a person doing M. Arch;
“The fastest way to become a famous architect,” he said, “is to throw a brick at a famous architect.”


advice taken!

sweet smell of a great sorrow

sweet smell of a great sorrow



i can be a thought today
a wish that you blew on the way
words flow and those eyes say
i can promise you but i doubt you may

the chatter of birds on the side
river of words would be the guide
they give you me and its me they hide
words have danced and they have cried

the winds of serenity seems arrived
kiss the breeze; hold me tight
i never felt so right
you let me go and slaughter my pride

i have a few treasures left
a box full of memories ive kept
hug the place where you once slept
feel you warm in the tears i wept

see the stars decending below
wispher to me as i see the glow
squeeze my soul; leave me hollow
a life dedicated to a tune so mellow

Frank Gehry in the Simpsons

One of the most prominent architects of our time is Frank Gehry, a Canadian living and practicing in Los Angeles, he is best known for his Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and more recently his Los Angeles Disney Concert Hall. However, those who have followed his career would realise that Gehry experimented with various forms in his earlier career in his own house and the Loyola Law School.
He is probably the most published and famous living American architect, and it wasn't a surprise that they would have him featured in a Simpsons episode. Gehry is a guest star in The Simpsons Season 16 Episode 14. When I say 'guest star' I mean he really voiced the part and played himself in the episode. I am placing the screenshots of the episode below, narrating the plot.

The Simpsons visit the neighbouring town of Shelbyville where the people are apparently more affluent than the Springfielders. In fact, the whole town thinks that all Springfielders are stupid hicks. So here's a scene in a Shelbyville play where the Shelbyvillians are portrayed to be clean and proper while the Springfielders are portrayed as stupid hicks.

After the play, Lisa tries to convince them that Springfielders are refined, cultured and articulate as well but gets hooted by the Shelbyville crowd.

Marge as Chairman of the Cultural Committee proposes that the town builds a new concert hall, so that Springfield would be seen as a cultured and refined place. Who should be the architect? Frank Gehry of course!

Here's Gehry's own house, which is the most memorable of his projects and was even deemed 'deconstructivist' for the way the materials were treated. It lies in a state of paradox, seemingly incomplete yet complete.

Gehry checks his mail and finds a letter Marge sends him.

He crumples the paper and tosses it on the ground and gets his inspiration for the Concert Hall.

Gehry then presents his design at the Springfield Town Hall.

The spunky new building impresses the crowd and everyone votes to build it.

The construction begins and it seems that they are building a rectilinear building instead.

Then the wrecking balls come and knock the building into shape.

And once the final form is arrived at...

Gehry gives his thumbs-up in approval.

After it is built, Gehry is seen here trying to get skateboarders off his building.

Soon there is an opening night with all the pomp and splendour.

The interior even looks like the LA Concert Hall! The opening night is a big disaster because everyone leaves the building after hearing the first 4 notes of Beethoven's 5th Symphony. Apparently no one in Springfield (but Marge) is interested in classical music!

The town sells the building to Montgomery Burns and he decides to turn it into a prison. Modifications are done to the building.

And here's the building completed as a prison.

who said architecture wasnt fun?

Dear my love - a personal interpretation of beethoven's music

dear my love
i can see the place where
dreams of ours are ripped bare
no one seems to care

dear my love
i have gone to the place where
everything is there but love is rare
they maybe two but not a pair

dear my love
there are no words to speak
my eyes cannot stop these tears to leak
they see me strong but never have i been so weak

dear my love
the time is gone
medals and crowns you may have won
me that you havent known

dear my love
the darkness is creeping in
thy purity is the only sin
and you know how it has been

dear my love
you have gone so far
levels you set i couldnt par
i still have the love alive for how you are

dear my love
these words are the last
thy ship may be wrecked by i hold the mast
and a promise that i wont regret the past
