Yes genius loci, the spirit of a place a concept that influenced me as an architect. I picked it up in Palermo, Sicily, as a student teacher in a summer design seminar. My design proposed moving an old fountain. Later, the Palermo students told me I had moved the center of the universe. I never forgot.
I love your writing Deirdre. It reaches and touches my soul. It leaves a mark.
Bring back the pen pals.
Loved this glimpse into genius. It’s fun to think about.
"slowly easing yourself into a hot bath of discovery"--this is always how I feel reading your snaps
❤️thanks Will!

Great writing, thanks
I love that. Especially because my grandfather on my mother side is from Palermo.!
Lovely people, with a unique sense of humor. The best food. One of the best summers of my life
It’s wonderful to perhaps feel how and from where some of your genius originated.
