The Taj



Those who do not know Architecture talk about buildings. Those who know Architecture do not talk about buildings. They talk about humans, about humanity.



A pluralism in Islamin Architecture is needed in this country. We are democracy based, all people have equal right, all workers have equal standing.
Islam became of a form of racialism. Malay is Islam, and Islam is Malay.

We, as human, have two selves.
One, is the Real Self. One, is the Ego Self.
Look at the design of the huge mosque. What is it? It is just a styling. An act of adapting. Not asking on the fact that what IS Islamic Architecture.
That building, is wrapped by the Ego Self of Islam.



To be humble and to possess humility, it means you are open minded and is willing to accept things.
If you think you are better than others, then you have something sick in your heart.







Quotes and lessons from Prof Taj in Theory of Architecture.
I write this, to let it be a reminder to myself as to how interesting The Taj's lectures are.
