Nari Gandhi, Lonavla, Mudh Island and other stories

I am going to start with an experience that I really treasure. Early 2009. Lunavla. Mumbai, 2 Nari Gandhi houses. Great people.

For those who are not familiar with the work of Nari Gandhi, please see this link. He was a man of few words, and like him, I am not going to say much. I hope the photographs speak for themselves.
















I might add a few more details when I can...Thanks to Gurjit for the trip, it changed a lot of my perspectives on architecture, and some other things. 
:D

A video from a while ago - it made me consider something. If we were to create an "architect's oath", one that every architect takes before being allowed to build; that would it be? what kinds of statements would it consist of?
So then I went ahead and asked google uncle. Apparently, people have thought of this before (I couldn't really be the only one thinking about this, could I?) I found a few online - some serious, some parodies here, here and here. This is a debatable point - can an "oath" really control what we build? what exactly should the oath be about? and how specific or vague can it be? are we even entitled to an oath?
As I ponder on this idea, would love to know what others think.

Love architecture? Here.
Words elude me today, but I would love to hear what you have to say.

This is why architecture is still a part of my life, and will stay so.
