Admittedly, I was kind of hating on architecture for awhile. What can I say? It's that time of the quarter! You know, that point when the level of frustration is at its highest, productivity is at its lowest and confidence is so low that it floats within the viscous tides of the earth's mantle. And then you see something that renews your faith in certain life choices. Or at least cheers you up. Borromini and his genius did that for me, with two tiny churches of his - S. Ivo and S. Carlo alle Quattro Fontane. His work is incredibly sculptural and remarkably restrained considering he lived within the height of the Baroque.
