Author Description

"THE ARTIST DEFAMILIARIZES THE WORLD-MAKES THINGS STRANGE-AND WAKES US UP." -JEF7REY HILDNER, DISTURBANCE... In honor of the centennial of a book- TOWARD AN ARCHITECTURE 1923 By Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris aka Le Corbusier Architect Painter Writer... THE GENIUS OF LE CORBUSIER, the Swiss-French master, inspired me 50 years ago as a student at Princeton University to likewise become an architect, painter, and writer. (And change my name-more than once!) Through all my creative endeavors, including 11 books, I passionately explore the architecture of art and life. "Architecture is a story told through a building," as I proclaimed in my book Visual Ef9ects. In Disturbance, a follow-up to my book Toward An Architecture AI | 2023, I showcase more visions of Daedalus 9-our dream house-inspired by the tragic but heroic story of the mythical ancient Greek architect, inventor of the Labyrinth and Wings. I envision the final design emerging from an artistic fusion of Natural Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence, which I call ZIntelligence. The result? A ZI House. And I dream of someday supervising robots and androids as they build the story of Daedalus 9: The Labyrintheum-the world conjured from the quarry of myth. Above all, I seek to transform the world through the magic of art, simultaneously aesthetic and symbolic, resonating with a paranormal blend of originality and archetypal power. I aspire to evoke emotion, herald brave creativity, and reveal a universe we can't see if we take the Blue Pill. Architecture is the Red Pill. I hope this book inspires a metamorphic Disturbance -like Le Corbusier's book Toward an Architecture, the epic prequel to my modest tribute.... For Mercedes-Pure Magic...
