I just read the novel “the fountainhead” by Ayn Rand. A classic novel about an architect, Howard Roark, and the uncompromising integrity you need to make art. A great novel, but a tough read, 750 pages of heavy intellectual dialogue. While reading, this is I how imagined Roark’s first design would look like. Which is quite funny, because back in 1926 they never would have heard of deconstructivist architecture.

Yes this is a good book Rene. Its a great lesson in how to struggle against the outdated/outmoded. One we could all embrace. Love your interpretation of the first design

I wish I could read that book. Maybe I will find it one day.
It is always a challange to imagine spaces and architectures you find in literature.
