Leisure Thought

 If I am asked, what is architecture journey in your view?

 My answer would be: architecture journey is an ongoing process in which people have used and are currently using all the patterns for their civilized behavior and social life from the beginning of human civilization till today.  Keeping ideas about and for this reason, whenever I have a chance, I go out with my family to know the unknown.

This summer we went to visit Scotland where there is a big statue of Sir Walter Scott; he is the national poet of Scotland. We visited these two cities Glasgow and Inverness well.  I love seeing conservation work, so I bought the Loch Ness tour package to visit the Urquhart Castle. I didn't know that Loch means lake, in the Scottish accent. When we visited a public library in Glasgow, I caught my eye among many book covers.  Loch Long stuck out a word and with it a name came to my mind, Simon Starling. When I get back at the hotel I goggled what I saw was Simon Starling Gentleman, a fairly well-known and renowned artist inventor in this country who has his own style of work.

The below information about Simon Starling, I got it from Google:

Simon Starling was born in Surrey. He studied at Maidstone College of Art (1986-7) and Trent Polytechnic, Nottingham (1987-90), before completing an MFA at The Glasgow School of Art in 1992.

Interested in the journeys made by people and objects, the origins of desire, and the value of materials, some of Starling’s most notable works have transformed one object into another.

For example, in an early work from 1996, Starling took the metal of an antique silver spoon to make copies of a fake twenty-pence piece he had found.

One of his famous work is Autoxylopyrocycloboros and we will have some discussion on my next blog where I will share my artifact.
