Curator's Note:
Quotes from a favorite book relevant to a view of art, literature, the
making of poetry, however speaking to the building of buildings:
"The search which we make for this quality, in our own lives, is the central
search of any person, and the crux of any individual person's story. It is
the search for those moments and situations when we are most alive."
Opening to Chapter 3 ON BEING ALIVE of "The Timeless Way of Building" by
Christopher Alexander
"And when a building has this fire, then it becomes a part of nature. Like
ocean waves, or blades of grass, its parts are governed by the endless play
of repetition and variety, created in the presence of the fact that all
things pass. This is quality itself."
Opening to Chapter 8 THE QUALITY ITSELF of "The Timeless Way of Building" by
Christopher Alexander
Join us Tuesday Feb. 4th 7-9p for a fine group of readers, some good
