My Architect | a beautiful documentary

"There are very few people you will find anywhere who will talk about matter in spiritual terms. nothingness mattered to him, silence mattered to him, the engima of light mattered to him. so those are not normal discourses, but these one are what we liked and we talked about it.

and when somebody understand this, he can not be an ordinary person. he has to be highly cultivated soul who we call guru, we call him an yogi."

B.V.Doshi, Architect
commenting on architectural genius Louis Kahn @ Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, India

In one of the interview about Loius Kahn, an Architect said, In Jewish Mysticism: God can only be known through His Works. ... thus the work of any Jewish Artists can be considered as the work of God. When you see Loius enjoying his silence with his finger on his lips looking at the light, you know as if he was connecting with something. You can not be impatient.

"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

"How accidental our existences are, really, and how full of influence by circumstance." - Louis Kahn
