Marco Polo describes a bridge, stone by stone.
"But which is the stone that supports the bridge?" Kublai Khan aska.
"The bridge is not supported by one stone or another," Marco answers, "but by the line of the arch that they form."
Kublai Khan remains silent, reflecting. Then he adds:
"Why do you speak to me of the stones? It is only the arch that matters to me."
Polo answers: "Without stones there is no arch."

I'm not quite used to Miami. Perhaps I've never been used to it. The city is always under construction and it never seems to complete anything. Instead, things are left to decay as we continue to drive on and on beside it. Still, we build.
I have a link I would like to share with you: [LINK: http://logarchitecture.tumblr.com/#12 ]
It reminds me of an architecture I once aspired to make...now, I am not so confident but with time, perhaps, I will wake up and get back to it.
