“Limits of whatever form, provide an ideal context for innovation. When faced with obstacles or adversity, our efforts to overcome them hone our creativity and help us find solutions  to global problems”

Writing on a wall, Expo 2016, Italian pavilion

You know how we, the humans, are finally realizing a mass damage we are creating by our mass production and are going back to eating local and using local materials?

I have been pondering on these thoughts for some time and while visiting Bukhara and Samarkand I saw how a basic construction material such as brick could be used in so many versatile ways as both a building material and a decoration material.  These images are a mix from 9th century architecture to newly renovated / built buildings. The key is – you have a basic brick and it is only human creativity and skills that turned it into something spectacular.
