This place is indeed beauty: Jungle and the castle, both!
Factor 1: Human interventions, particularly the civilized societies, destroy forests. The extraordinary example is Angkor Wat, Cambodia. There was a megacity which vanished. And…"

Remigius de Souza replied to ® irgeorgellanespecore's discussion (Glass Facts) The Good,The Bad, The Ugly about using too much glass in buildings..."Glass offers transparency, but for what purpose? It’s light weight, but adds to cooling energy cost.

- About Me:
- Hey! I come from India, of the First World India, of ruling minority, where I bought hopeless British-made higher education (Architecture); of the Third World India, of peasants and workers, the displaced and marginalized, where I was born, brought up and given Life-Supporting skills (un-recognised by the State); and of the Fourth World India, of the aborigine communities, where I was Initiated, without rites or rituals, in the most ancient discipline of (un-named) SRISHTIYOGA - the Way of Nature, of Humans, Plants and Animals – where Each Moment a Liberation Moment. VIVA!
(PS: I named 'it' SRISHTIYOGA because of my civilized habits.)

When, in the '60s, my friends, classmates, colleagues were leaving for UK, US, EU etc, it was a Great Exodus from my tiny world. I took to travelling, going in search of the beginnings – before civilised societies – i.e. aborigines in hills & forests at home.

Passionately I taste LIFE; but I put to test the Lifestyles, push them to critical minimal levels of Existence: While others do exactly the opposite.

A story of a toppled van in the US
Once in the staff room of an architectural college a senior professor was narrating a story about how American people are scientific-minded. He had been a visiting professor here in India and in the US for a number of years. He taught building services. The story happened in the late the eighties in an American town while he was staying there, at a town in Minnesota State.
