l am a 22 year-old architect in Istanbul. l love every kind of art. Music, painting, sculpture, architecture, literature, cinema… l think art is the reflection of divine side of human being. My favourite painter is Monet , my favourite composer is Bach, my favourite architect is Alvar Aalto and l still didnt decide my favourite author. There are so many who l like . Paulo Coelho , Irvin Yalom, Susanna Tamaro, Nikos Kazantzakis, Tolstoy, Panait Istrati are some of them. l love reading a lot. Reading feeds my soul, it makes me think , it makes me imagine, it bonds me to life.

“INTJs are natural leaders, although they usually choose to remain in the background until they see a real need to take over the lead. When they are in leadership roles, they are quite effective, because they are able to objectively see the reality of a situation, and are adaptable enough to change things which aren’t working well. They are the supreme strategists – always scanning available ideas and concepts and weighing them against their current strategy, to plan for every conceivable contingency. “

“…observer, values solitude, perfectionist, detached, private… does not talk about feelings, hard to impress, analytical, likes esoteric things…”

    Kişisel siten gerçekten çok etkileyici ingilizcen çok akıcı ve oldukça iyi. Bence ana dili ingilizce olan birçok yazardan daha iyi ifade etmişsin kendini. Ayrıca bu kadar yeri bu kadar kısa sürede nasıl gezebildin anlamış değilim..

    why don’t u translate that Can Yucel poem into English?

  7. didem86 Says:

    It’s very very beautiful poem you know. I just dont want to destroy it while translating. I am not professional about it. Poems are beautiful in their own language.

    I sawn your nice about page… Explicates a lot of aspects of your life! I’m also architect, & i like Frank Gehry’s creations… What do you think about?
    Thanks for the visit to my (new) blog.
    ciao

  9. didem86 Says:

    I love Frank Gehry’s buildings! I saw in your blog you put his building in Bilbao.His style is functional and esthetic and technological. He’s a friend of my architecture history proffesor!

  10. apolide Says:

    it is moreover a spectacular and plastic image of American Empire. A building that not relates itself with the context wants to dominate it. what do you think about?

  11. didem86 Says:

    What about Daniel Liebeskind? He creates his buildings as plastic images of the concepts. For example when he desings a library, he does it in the shape of a symbolic book…is it opposite to what Frank Gehry does?

  12. apolide Says:

    Is’nt. He’s older, i think. But he loves big buildings, strange-shaped. I like it… I dont know Liebeskind’s library…

    ciao
