My Architect

One of the best films of 2003.

I'd love to do an article, but I've got other fish to fry. I'll prolly wait for the DVD, take a look at it again, hopefully do a more in-depth thing.

Found this detail--the Salk Institute, he found that scientists when working hardly had time for anything else like lunch or distractions. So he ringed the labs around that gorgeous concrete courtyard you see, with the huge stone benches and the narrow trench full of water running its length, and put the studiolike offices on the outside, all with a view of the gardens and the Pacific Ocean. Offices for outside concerns and contemplation, labs for concentration on physical work. Brilliant.
