There Is a Meaning in Each Curve and Line | Architecture With Purpose

There is a meaning in each curve and line.” This thought from Sri Aurobindo's Savitri has remained deeply connected to the way I think about architecture.

From a nation-building perspective, the humanities are just as important as the sciences. Literature, philosophy, history, sociology, psychology & the arts define national identity and shape govt policy for you. Dismissing the importance of the arts is a good indicator of someone being culturally underdeveloped. At the end of the day, science is just an abstract tool in the hands of an arts graduate. The operator is just as important as the tool.

Excellent list. Also probably worth including is work of Sri Aurobindo, who also had a very profundly universal, a very metaphysical view of the Arts and the creative process.
