Caramel. Forget Architecture, Schätzchen

There has never been architecture,
yet ---
raised spatial objects dancing with the air all around them, ---
transitory envelopes communicating, like the skin, between body and outer world, ---
indigenous landscape folds exploring the environment with their free leg, ---
black buildings, which are the midst of everything or don t exist at all, ---
cloud-castles made of air, in the air, or devised for the air in our brain only, always costless yet never useless, ---
mobile things in any dimensions, which take us away or with which we arrive.

"Es gibt interessante, spannende, lehrreiche, amüsante Bücher. Auch geheimnisvolle. Aber freundliche? Hat schon wer von einer zuvorkommenden Lektüre gehört? "Forget Architecture, Schätzchen" ist so ein Fall." Bernhard Praschl, Freizeit Kurier, 01.10.2011, Nr. 1139
