SAMUEL A. BUDIONO - “My Designs are My Music”
Music and Architecture are very close... I am from Jakarta... Jazz and Freedom go hand in hand... Even it is my first time to India... Since I am an Architect, a Composer, and also a Jazz Pianist... When I design something... The same spirit like sketching...and the idea comes spontaneously... There are a lot of saying that... "Architecture is frozen music or Music is liquid architecture." For myself, Music Architecture is my Passion... The idea about something is very natural... because you have the main concept in your head... but when you release it... It's like spontaneous...It's Life! I went to the USA... Lived there... I found out that there are a lot of Jazz Musicians... There are a lot of Architects... But not many Architects are also good Jazz Musicians... I won an Award in Barcelona... It's about Auditorium concept and I also won in Dubai... It's about Green Architecture at that time... Right now I am doing a Project that is supposed… to be an iconic in Indonesia... but it's still under construction... I love Frank Gehry because I think he is amazing! Compared to him, I am still a teenager... Jazzer as we know Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea... Herbie Hancock... So all are the Legends! I always try to see the Live Concerts... I sometime go to Montreux Jazz Festival... North Sea Jazz Festival... Just to see Live! That gives inspiration... I love your slogan "The Incredible India"...
