Joel Haertling, son and de facto archivist of the late architects Charles A. Haertling, faxed over a single page written by his father. Titled "Thoughts on Architecture" it`s a blurry, typewritten list. Charles Haertling succumbed to a brain tumor in 1984, but the text is immediate and cuts across the years: 21 enumerated glimpses into a creative mind. Someone has circled point number 14: "Design is always a tortuous, grueling, almost maddening, though heavenly sweet, task."
