No
doubt we all know about Brad Pitt, and what he had declared more than
once or twice: 'Acting is my profession, architecture my passion.' He
has demonstrated his creative talent building luxurious houses as well
as other philanthropic cheap ones to reconstruct New Orleans. Julian
Schnabel, the well known painter too has created with his gifted
interior architecture the Palazzo Chupi in New York.
But
there's another example that draws more attention. David lynch, the
famous movie maker, has designed, in Paris, The Club of Silence, name
taken from the cabaret in his film 'Mulholand Drive'. Design and
architecture are both an important part of his life, manifested in
constructing a movie: first the idea, fall in love with it, nurture it
then populate it; bring it to life, visual, auditory and tangible
without distorting it. Making a movie is similar, in his opinion, as
architecture, creatures of 2 or 3 dimensions; whatever the ways and
means, both are the realization of an idea, creating space, forms and
shapes from nothing. The most important part is the end of the
construction, to be used and enjoyed by people.
Reality
though can sometimes be quite different. How many sick and dead
buildings many people have no choice but live in? How many rubbishy
films the industry keep turning out? Luckily, some of them, suddenly
there or been there for decades or centuries which are alive, well,
pleasing and touching our hearts and souls.
