Architects are well known to be visionaries, artists and creators who are able to articulate their ideas and wild imagination through drawings and figures on paper.  Some of them, including me, though able to translate their thoughts into drawings on paper, does not have the talent to translate them into words.  I honestly can say that I wanted to write a story I had once in my mind but was not able to do so because of the lack of skill.  And so I envy those who are able to articulate their crazy imagination in their heads into colorful and animated words and sentences.

Rarely that I hear about architects writing a non-architectural book.  Although architects who are also writers is not something new, it's hard to find one who creates and writes a fictional story that may indirectly or not really be connected with architecture.  This is why this book caught my attention when I found out that the author is also a practicing architect.
