The Magic of the Cities.
Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

New York by Gehry
New York by Frank Gehry (Background building - 8 Spruce Street)
Frank Gehry is
perhaps the most celebrated practicing architect in the world today. He has
been the recipient of dozens of awards recognizing excellence in architecture
including the Pritzker Architecture Prize, which honors "significant
contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of
architecture." Over the past five decades, under Gehry's creative
direction, Gehry Partners, LLP has designed public and private buildings in
North America, Europe, and Asia.
Hallmarks of Gehry's
work include a particular focus on creating spaces that are comfortable to the
people who use them, and that exist well within the larger context and culture
of their location. The firm's approach to design is one in which the client becomes
fully engaged in the process, making each project a true collaboration.
