I remember that quote, but, alas, I don't remember who said
it :/

It's very true.

that's a vague memory.

yo. architecture is cool.

I lived with a wannabe architecture last year and he
introduced me to some very funky architecture.

You should all check out people like Gaudi and Frank Gehry.
They're like the 'idm' of architecture.

guggenheim bilbao by frank gehry..

sagrada familia by gaudi

The next time,I 'm going on vacations,

(Or Barcelona)

wots the place in Spain, maybe somewhere close by, with all
the weird shapes up on the roofs of the buildings..

cool buildings urb, that sagrada familia looks like
something out of Warhammer 40K or out of some dark, spooky
film!

I've just been to Toronto and the architecture is amazing. A
good blend of the old and the new.

ahh though you were talking modern architecture...

yeah the old style is interesting

I heard that people have to go 'love hotels' to get it on
cos the walls are so think and whole families (extended)
live together

maybe you're thinking of Casa Mila, also by Gaudi. It
got some weird stuff on the roofs.

supreme,

I want to go there too! It's either Bilbao or Barcelona. If
you go to Barcelona you've got many Gaudi buildings to see,
not much but the Guggenheim in Bilbao. But it's awesome.. so
I don't know.

I was dreaming of going to Barcelona the same time as the
Warp bus for a nice warp/gaudi holiday, but I can't because
of work.

I'm not so much into architecture (apart from Noveau), but I
pretend to be an intellectual anyway.

Now,THAT would have been an interesting trip!

I'll go to Bilbao anyway.
LeCoeur told me you can look at the building for hours!
(and there's also the inside)
But I won't stay there for two weeks,
I guess I will in Barcelona.

(Shit! I can't wait!)

thanks, i just did a search and found numerous philosphers
and others quoted as saying it. i won't begin to search for
the original quote... maybe it's just an ancient truth that
people come up with seperately time and again.

"Architecture is Frozen Music, Music is Liquid
Architecture"
-Galerie Jousse Seguin, Paris, 1999

that architecture by gaudi is beautiful. the building in the
second link was very organic. gehry built the weisman
museum here on campus (u of minnesota), but i'm not too fond
of it.
