Spirit in Architecture

THE HOUSE OF SPIRITUAL RETREAT
       There is a good video from that link.

Emilio Ambasz is not the first architect who talks about the spiritual dimension of architecture. He recognizes the expression of emotions in the great buildings we admire and call architecture.
What is more interesting is his uncompromising will to have "100% landscape and 100% building" on the same spot of land. We do make a lot of compromises in life, but should we not stand for what we truly believe in? That is what his house make me think of.
