EDUCATION LOST

To put an end to the spirit of inquiry that has characterized the West it is not necessary to burn the books. All we have to do is leave them unread for a few generations. (Hutchins, Adler. The Great Conversation)

Why Classical? How I fell through the looking glass of the Classical World

It all began as a student of architecture and design and a fascination with a Fable: Vitruvius’ Maiden of Corinth and the origin of Corinthian Order (capital).

Along the course, we stripped our curriculums and our environment of beauty, philosophy and humanism—the delight of learning and the joy of living.
