MUSICAL ARCHITECTURE


Gaudi ,Fuller,Wright-their music made waves and motions
aligned with nature and curves/divorced from utilitarian squares and storage rectangles
Sing lines of spirals,seashells ,oceans and river bendings
make art temporary time tunings.Chime Chinese wood and glass
hollow bones to blow chakras/curve steel to allow sound around gypsies
Lift all in trees /above ground to see air interacting
Compositions random .Let prevailing winds blow 
Movements make this-all structures have voices
Mud huts to grass yurts-glass bottle buildings
colored waters within-sing in wood ,bend  mia-mia!
All song is temporary!All shelter attuned to site-specific spaces!
Post-fires,do we wish plomped FEMA ugliness?
or new trees swish of leaves to shelter people/sunlight?
Post-hurricane,do we rebuild in flood zones like Formula 1
or dare we make temporary floating habitations?
Post-Apocalypse-will we repeat highrise errors
make dense a concentration camp prison model?
or will we listen to wave and wind and water
allow soft and gentle /adapt to that which will 
allow us to live both with and within (round,round..
listening elementally to the music of architectures...
