ORDINARY ARCHITECTURE
or how an architect mastered his craft

I have never read such a book about the creative process – so sincere and so genuine in its simplicity. When one is deeply sincere, one inspires belief.

AFTERWORD
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
A LETTER IN PLACE OF INTRODUCTION
To Maria and Vassil or a family book about architecture dedicated to past, present and future architects from the Beyazov family
I am starting my notes about the craft of architecture out of an unfulfilled desire to help you master the profession by joint work. I find nothing unusual about the lack of continuity today because back in my younger days I faced the same problem with my father. Each one of us must make his own painful path through life, which is perhaps the true path. Some of the things I could have learned from my father through joint work would have most certainly speeded up my professional development but it never happened. The truth is that I was much more influenced by my father, architect Vassil Beyazov, by the imagery and individual style of his works rather than by general reflections on how architecture is done –something which, being a young practitioner, I craved to find out and understand. I also think that it was the great disparities in our characters that made close collaboration impossible. He was a man of exceptional talent and this helped him work with great creative freedom and ease. I for one was the more rational of the two and achieved everything with much pain and hard work. I’ll dwell on this in more detail further on.
The express purpose of these notes is to share my experience with you as honestly as possible, without claiming to have made extraordinary achievements. I’ll try my best because when I was young, I remember getting very angry every time I read or heard a brainy quote by some famous architect because
