Re: Moshe Safdie Interview Aug, 2011
The Moshe Safdie interview opened me up in a very unexpected way. Art, architecture, nature and the human spirit all combined produced a much needed hero as to what this woman needs and the world is starving for. Moshe speaks from heart and soul with the mind following. His wish for Israel and Palestine made me feel anything is possible. When I listened to Moshe I felt "awake". Thank you

I well remember Habitat 67 (hope that's the right #). But I was completely unaware of Moshe Safdie's career as it was outlined in this wonderdul interview. I hope I read his book and get around to my old fascination with architecture.
In 1946, my childhood best friend for two years on 86th street around 1937 was Herb, who had just returned from service as a Liberator navigator over Germany -- stationed in England. He had been in the thick of the bombing and returned to his profession of young architecht. He had a job with Emery Roth on a high rise building. He was real fan of Frank Lloyd Wright and talked of him all the time. Herb explained to me you can tell lot from a single line an architect might draw.
Ever since those days I have cared about architecture and have always appreciated Charlie Rose's passion for the its mision and accomplishments.
This show is delightful and I wish it would run for hours and hours. I just checked on Google for my old freind. He's there. Maybe we will get together again. I do miss him.
