當年，馬友友以巴哈的無伴奏大提琴組曲為骨幹，找來不同藝術家和電影人合作拍攝了Inspired by Bach系列電影，其中第一集，乃馬友友與Julie Moir Messervy探討能否以第一組曲啟發設計一座公園。

看後我寫了一個英文網頁，叫Garden Inspired by the Music of Bach（http://www.joetsang.net/art/mgarden/mgarden.html）。在網頁的最後部分，我加插了幾段關於“巴哈蓋房子”的雜論：

Interestingly, I have a book (in Chinese) of the title Bach Builds a House, co-authored by an architect/academic and a musician. The subtitle of the book, which was published in Taiwan in June 2000, is a conversation between architecture and music. It deals with the inter-relationship between architecture and music. More specifically, it tries to find the common creative background and source for these two art forms.

The book has a chapter on "Bach and Gothic churches". The authors claim that the structure and nature of Bach's music have a very close relationship to the architectural structure and spatial form of Gothic churches. Given that the so-called Gothic period ended around 200 years before Bach's birth, can we say that (at least some of) Bach's music was inspired by Gothic architecture?

The chapter does not discuss whether any form of architecture has been inspired by Bach's music, nor does it mention the Ma-Messervy project. The book, however, has another chapter on "Improvisation and Variation", which compares Jacques Loussier's "Play Bach" approach to post-modernism architecture.
