安

HOA ĐẠO
From 安 to Presence

It did not begin
with a book.

Not with a grand vow.

It began
in a quiet moment.

A single character:

安

written
for an old friend
as an offering of peace.

No one knew
that in that moment
a seed had been planted.

Then life unfolded
through blazing days,
through days of solitude,
through long nights
when silence
was the only thing
that remained.

From AN
a stream emerged.

It was called
Flows of Peace.

But the stream
did not stop there.

It moved through emptiness,
awakening,
contemplation,
light,
falling flowers,
and presence.

And it blossomed.

Ninety times
a flower opened.

Ninety books.
Ninety streams.
Ninety petals
of one unfolding journey.

Until at last
all words
began to fall
like petals
at the end of spring.

And in that falling,
the final name
revealed itself:

HOA ĐẠO
花道
THE FLOWERING WAY

No longer as books.
No longer as a journey.

Only
as a true fragrance
moving through the world.

The flower has fallen.
The Way remains.

Still here.
Still present.

Books 3/69

Eternity is not time without end.
It is the moment untouched by time.

Opening Sentence

Architecture must learn to outlive fashion.

Main Text:

In every era, architecture is influenced by style.
Magazines, competitions, and media platforms constantly introduce new visual languages. Buildings appear with striking forms designed to capture attention quickly.
These projects often succeed in the short term because they respond to the visual culture of the moment.
Yet architecture is not a short-term discipline.
A building may remain in a city for fifty years, sometimes longer. During that time, many aesthetic trends will rise and disappear.
What remains after those changes is not style.
It is structure.
The buildings that endure are rarely those that tried hardest to look contemporary. They are the ones that understood deeper architectural principles: proportion, light, material honesty, and clarity of construction.
These elements do not belong to any particular era.
They belong to architecture itself.
When structure is coherent, time does not weaken the building. Instead, time reveals its logic.
A well-designed school continues to support learning decades later because circulation is clear and natural light is present.
A well-proportioned courtyard continues to attract people because the spatial relationships feel balanced.
In such projects, architecture does not demand attention.
It quietly supports life.
This is why the pursuit of timelessness is not about avoiding innovation. It is about understanding what should remain stable while everything else changes.
Cities evolve, technologies evolve, and cultural expectations evolve.
But human perception of space changes very slowly.
People still respond to daylight, proportion, and calm environments in the same way they did centuries ago.
Architecture that respects these constants can move beyond fashion.
It becomes part of the long continuity of the built environment.
Closing Line
Style belongs to the present.
Structure belongs to time.

Just watching the artist Tuan Andrew done nice sculpture at High Line New York

Newyork Time : “The Light That Shines Through the Universe” will be a recreation of one of the two Bamiyan Buddha statues that once stood on a cliff in central Afghanistan. Built in the 6th century AD, the Bamiyan Buddha statues in Afghanistan are often considered symbols of cultural exchange along the Silk Road.

The two hands of the Bamiyan Buddha statue were lost centuries before waves of iconoclasticism. The statue was completely destroyed by the Taliban in March 2001, 25 years before its reconstruction in New York. All that remains of the statues in Afghanistan are the rocks where they once stood on the cliff, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Nguyen will not be an exact copy of the statue, but will create “a hope, a reminder of lost cultural treasures,” according to a press release. Nguyen will also replace the missing hands with hands made from melted bronze artillery shell casings. The 27-foot-tall sandstone statue takes its name from the local characteristic of the Bamiyan Buddha statue: Salsal, meaning “light shining through the universe.”

“Tuan Andrew Nguyen’s ‘Light Shining Through the Universe’ is a timely symbol for our public spaces,” said Cecilia Alemani, director and principal curator of High Line Art, in a statement. “The statue will stand there as a powerful and poetic focal point against the extremism and coral mythological iconography that we continue to witness globally. By reviving the memory of the lost Bamiyan Buddha statue, ‘Light Shining Through the Universe’ reminds us that cultural treasures – and shared history – can transcend discovery.”

I send to my childhood friends the childhood memories we shared through the book "The Flow of Peace, Love and Healing DNA, Falling Flowers Without Morality," as a gift that we've been connected to for 40 years... it's wonderful to have them reach my childhood friends. A journey has come to an end.
