Cities Want Builder
As an architect you are a builder. you are of course more than a builder. you need to be a militant, you have to be a poet, you have to be a visionary, you have to be an artist. but certainly you have to be a builder. everything starts from there.

A good movie can take you out of your dull funk and the hopelessness that so often goes with slipping into a theatre; a good movie can make you feel alive again, in contact, not just lost in another city. good movies make you care, make you believe in possibilities again.
