On November 3rd 2018, celebrated the living art of architecture, and was witness to the beauty and importance of traditional hand drafting. The guest speaker Thomas Rajkovich, a preeminent classical architect and urban designer, shared gems on animating principles of art, mentor ship through time from masters, the myth of Apollo and Daphne giving insight to the creative process, on the hand being the medium for translating ideas into the world, on sketching as being the primary medium for painting, sculpture and architecture. Left the event feeling lit up with inspiration and with the buzzing thoughts of Jacob Bronowski quotes - ‘We are active: and indeed we know, as something more than a symbolic accident in the evolution of man, that it is the hand that drives the subsequent evolution of the brain. ... The hand is the cutting edge of the mind. Civilization is not a collection of finished artifacts, it is the elaboration of processes. In the end, the march of man is the refinement of the hand in action.’ Steve Jobs did so much to this end of making the tools that push humanity forward, whatever the next tools will be, we know that they will be made by someone that takes pleasure in his/her own skill, with ‘loving care, gaiety and effrontery.’ Gratitude and respect to the artists and speaker. #scenographia2018 #architecture #handdrafting #sculpture #painting #thomasrajkovich #jacobbronowski #stevejobs (at Merchandise Mart) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqAlKR_BjKn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hsm42bqg47yl

Clay by Melissa Harrison
Harrison gives lovely expression to her vision of an eco-system thrumming away beneath the grime of city life. The park has "an imaginative collection of trees; not just the ubiquitous planes and sycamores, and not the easy-care lollipops of cherries either, but hornbeams, service trees, acacias and Turkey oaks with bristly acorn cups like little sea anemones. It was alive with squirrels, jays and wood mice, while in spring thrushes let off football rattles from the treetops, and every few summers stag beetles emerged to rear and fence and mate." https://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/jan/25/clay-melissa-harrison-review
