A sound’s spell that is perhaps similar to an architect’s manifestation of a certain feeling where a structure’s existence comes from and how it is expressed throughout.. Like architect Mimar Sinan (architect of Blue Mosque in Istanbul) celebrating his creations in their very core, this is born from a strong and mysterious feeling. He blesses his structures first: I am the oldest of the grand architects If the world is a school I’m its master God knows I created so many houses for him I built many sanctuaries for prayer Press Quote
