The Babbles of an Arch Shaman

Hi everyone, this is my blog, and I intend to use it to spread my Thoughts, Opinions, Wrightings, etc. I am an Autodidact, and a Polymath. I am also a Litterateur, and an Bibliophile. My interests are too numerous and far spread to be listed in one page. The Main fields of my activity, however, are Architecture, Design, Fine Art, Technology, Philosophy, Politics and Government, Current and World affairs, Culinary Arts, Performing Arts, Legal affairs, Entrepreneurship, Environmentalism, Socialization, and Travelling.
I intend to use this site to let the world know what I'm all about.
Please feel free to look around.

In architecture, there is a part that is the result of logical reasoning and a part that is created through the senses. There is always a point where they clash. I don’t think architecture can be created without that collision.

I can also foresee a Future, where buildings will be built out of Living Materials; Where buildings will Interact with the User; where buildings can Heal themselves; Where buildings take care of All the Cooling/Heating, Waste Management, and other such functions On their own, without any dependance on the Grid; where buildings can be Modified without any hassles; Where buildings continue to Grow, As and when the User’s needs changes; Where the User can Grow all the Food needed……………………. Let me know Your Opinion about Where you see Architecture heading in the next Twenty-five to Fifty years! ryanpanos: Hypercrafting And The Future Of Printing Buildings — The Pop-Up City The idea is simple. The new 3D printing techniques enable one to design buildings and transfer the design to any part of the world where it can be printed. At this building site the framework of the building is printed with a woodcutter from a computer model. As soon as this hull is being printed the building can be finished with local available material such as clay or mud. Here the designers, Waag Society, DUS Architects and Arne Hendriks, worked together with some local traditional mud workers. Hypercrafting can be regarded a 21st century craftsmanship. The combination of computer technology and modern machinery leads to the opportunity to build anything that comes up in our minds. Now we actually need to learn working with modern craftsmanship, according to Waag society’s Bas van Abel. This experiment is an effort to use new insights to create social and sustainable design. Social because design can be transferred and used in every part of the world, also the less fortunate countries, and sustainable because locally available products are the backbone of the design.

Nature is our mother. Because we live cut off from her, we get sick. Some of us live in boxes called apartments, very high above the ground. Around us are only cement, metal, and hard things like that. Our fingers do not have a chance to touch the soil; we don’t grow lettuce anymore. Because we are so distant from our Mother Earth, we become sick. That is why we need to go out from time to time and be in nature. It is very important. We and our children should be in touch again with Mother Earth. In many cities, we cannot see trees- the colour green is entirely absent from our view.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Wise Words………………. Hear the Grand Master speak!

Liberation is our very nature. We are that. The very fact that we wish for liberation shows that freedom from all bondage is our real nature. It is not to be freshly acquired. All that is necessary is to get rid of the false notion that we are bound. When we achieve that, there will be no desire or thought of any sort. So long as one desires liberation, so long, you may take it, one is in bondage

Very Compact, Cute, and Rustic looking cabin… Probably somewhere in the Woods. It would be Very Ideal for a Children’s playhouse, or as a Personal Retreat. I, by the way, have always fancied having a Design Studio/Den built for myself, to be located in a Tall, and Well built tree… Somewhere deep amidst a Forest, and within Walking distance of a Calm, Peaceful river. I would also like to have a Mansion located somewhere close by, where I can have all the Food cooked, and the Laundry done, and where I can set up a Full-fledged office arrangement. An Estate in the Neighborhood would be nice for a Site for the Mansion:)
