You also posted about the architecture of the Conference Centre in downtown San Diego.

I will be embarking on yet more travels of my own within a few weeks... continuing my tour of North America that will take me to Anticipation, SF World Convention in Montreal where I will be on panels, signings and doing readings, then off to St. Simons Island in Georgia to give my course on "The Hero's Journey" then I'm off to Halifax and Toronto to tour and visit friends and relatives.Nina Munteanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311070435293186699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584840770244929.post-91132849344859113982009-07-18T15:14:30.911-07:002009-07-18T15:14:30.911-07:00A very nice and interesting post, Nina!

Michael Gelb (not the Michael with the sharp youthful eyes) has written a book by that very title, "How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci"! <br />I thought you might like to know that one of the seven Da Vincian principles is...<br />Arte/Scienza - The development of the balance between science and art, logic and imagination. "Whole-brain" thinking.<br />Oh...and another Da Vincian principle is Corporalita - The cultivation of grace, ambidexterity, fitness, and poise.<br />HaHaHaHa!Baby Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080990018725761730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584840770244929.post-33273307679747765542009-07-16T13:13:47.849-07:002009-07-16T13:13:47.849-07:00You're so welcome, Ram...

Hard to explain. I'm just glad there are gifted people out there who recognize that buildings are more than structures but "a way of life".<br /><br />The outside area was elegant with clean lines, yet the labs inside, which you could see unobstructed through the huge glass panes, bustled with the "clutter" of productivity. Stable chaos...
