"...it must challenge our preconcieved notions, it must weave poetry from daily life. This is possible only if it is intended from the beginning, if poetry is given priority over rationalism and efficiency. And where is poetry? It is in the making."
(http://www.arch.mcgill.ca/prof/mellin/arch671/winter2000/lhill/part2.html, The Art of Seduction).
I read this and was seduced by the idea of prioritizing poetry over rationalism and efficiency. Ahhh! To experience the world through the lens of poetry, weaved from daily life! This is a philosophy I can adopt as a guide for my renovation.

I found this other posting on an astrology blog. The post is titled: Charm, Seduction, and Power & describes an exhibition and lecture, also on the topic of architecture and seduction.
"The topic, delectably risque, was Architecture and Seduction. Now, let’s just be up-front about this: Libra, by no means, corners the market on seduction. There are plenty of other signs — Scorpio, for instance, or Leo — with their own unique brands of come-hither. But Libra is the quintessential sign of relationship and art, so it was intriguing to hear the two topics linked up in discussion, with nary a mention of astrology.
The discussion was a preview of a panel held last night at UCLA’s Hammer Museum, which is running an exhibition on John Lautner’s work, “Between Earth and Heaven,” through October 12. The pair (of course!) exchanged opinions and insights about how a home could be laid out (pun intended) and accessorized to seduce a lover from front porch to kitchen to hallway to bedroom. It was agreed, for instance, that there was something very, very sexy about an open floor plan, about glass."

Astrology, architecture, and seduction. It doesn't get much better than this.
