Jubilee Church, Richard Meier
Another discipline that has had a profound influence on me and that I relish deeply is architecture. Working with Gary Williams, my architect, who built the Willow Bend Wellness Center, my building, I only provided an impact on this talented individual by suggesting the great influences that have inspired me: Richard Meier, Le Corbusier, Philip Johnson, Louis Kahn, Frank Gehry, Tadao Ando, among many other greats. I think most architects work with clients that fail to appreciate their work, and I certainly did not and do not with Gary Williams.
Out of many of the architects I admire I truly love Richard Meier. A huge reason is that I see him as a bridge between modern and contemporary architecture, carrying forward the legacy of many of the mid-century modern giants but with a more contemporary flair. His spare white modular aesthetic, subtle curvilinear design and use of glass entrance me. I love great architects who can create a remarkable space within which to live, work, breathe, and meditate.
