In fall 2001, I made a pilgrimage to Chile, to experience the land of Pablo Neruda, and to speak at a conference. As I traversed Santiago, Valparaiso, and a host of other places, I sketched, read aloud Neruda&#8217;s poetry, scribbled, and wondered how I better could understand Neruda&#8217;s work and its relationship to his place and life. In a diaphanous and Deleuzean moment of conjunction, the word &#8220;messy&#8221; presented itself to me. It suddenly made sense to me in ways that it did not before. Not just Neruda&#8217;s work, but the works of other writers, thinkers, thinker-writers, artists, architects, dancers, physicists, and all kinds of creative leaders made sense to me when seen through the lens of messiness as I delineate here. That revelation led me to formulating my own approach to architecture and education. Thus, this manifesto was born, somewhere in the magical city of Valparaiso. <a href=\"http:\/\/mahesh.org\/08292010\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/ManifestoForMessyArch.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3043\" src=\"http:\/\/mahesh.org\/08292010\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/ManifestoForMessyArch-e1398220143781.jpg\" alt=\"ManifestoForMessyArch\" width=\"791\" height=\"2047\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I owe a lot to Neruda and Deleuze.
