Pagodas are awesome...

Totally awesome.

i like the way the approach space is made intimate in this view. this is how i feel architecture and public spaces should be done. this is more important (to me) then even the actual shape of the buildings, other then at the level where we approach them.

the opposite of what i don't like about automobile based way of life with its lack of this maze-like quality that the mind really needs more of to stay healthy.
