Life Work

Encouraging words from Michael Rotondi's Summer Studio, entitled Life Work:

"Now is a time of faith and fear.

The world you are about to inherit is not the one you had envisioned.
The conflict of generations is upon you, and you are ready.
Things have changed more than you could have imagined and you now have to find comfort in uncertainty.

No problem you are still young enough to consider uncertainty a friend.
Life has become a real adventure again and now,
you have the opportunity to invent your own life.
There are none to inherit.

So [You] this studio will attempt to answer the questions:

“is it possible to invent a project, a life, and a society?”
“is it possible to be a leader without any followers?”
“is it possible to have a long term vision in a short cycle world?”
“is it possible to do good and do well, simultaneously?”
“is it possible to find an architectural equivalent?” "
- Michael Rotondi
