After 1980, you never heard reference to space again. Surface, the most convincing evidence of the descent into materialism, became the focus of design. Space disappeared.

Vitality is radiated from exceptional art and architecture.

Our incapacity to comprehend other cultures stems from our insistence on measuring things in our own terms.

We are guilty for sending teams into foreign countries to advise them how to be like us.

Our engineering departments build freeways which destroy a city or a landscape, in the process.

In those countries with centuries of a craft tradition behind their building methods, techniques are tightly coordinated under the direction of the architect.

Profit and bottom line, the contemporary mantra, eliminates the very source of architectural expression.
