The act itself does not move me, but In a world of 8 billion finding the other person who is the same sort of insane to do with with you is terribly romantic
Being a "sensitive young man" is a gift, it just comes with a catch. The feels are valid, and you don't actually have to crush them, but no one should ever see them expressed as you experience them.
The emotion has to be transmuted into passion, never expressed directly. Not passion for a person, at least not primarily, but for doing something for the world. Make, preserve, improve something in this life passionately, for others, even if its just for say your hypothetical children.
Introspect and understand PRIVATELY, but always transmute. Fail at this and all other efforts to date or seek out whatever you want will also fail.
Francis Kéré has proven repeatedly that the materials beneath your feet are enough to build something extraordinary. Compressed earth, bamboo, laterite, eucalyptus. In his hands, what most architects overlook becomes the building itself. In 2022, he became the first African architect to win the Pritzker Prize, architecture’s highest honour. His words upon receiving it: “Everyone deserves quality, everyone deserves luxury, and everyone deserves comfort.”
This is the SKF-RTL Children Learning Centre, Nyang’oma Kogelo, Kenya. Two classrooms, a kitchen, office spaces, bathrooms. Each function sits in its own circular structure, arranged the way traditional compounds in this region are arranged. Not a western building plan dropped onto African soil. A building that understands where it is.
The walls are compressed earth bricks made on site. The bamboo log panels filling the openings filter light and pull cool air through the building. The steel butterfly roof extends beyond the walls, shading the perimeter and collecting rainwater at the center.
No imported climate solutions. The building handles heat, light, and water through the logic of its own assembly.
