Western history has been a history of deed done, actions performed and results achieved.

The details are the very source of expression in architecture. But we are caught in a vice between art and the bottom line.

Nowhere has specialization penetrated so deeply into the building professions as North America.

We are stymied by regulations, limited choice and the threat of litigation. Neither consultants nor industry itself provide research which takes architecture forward.

Whenever we witness art in a building, we are aware of an energy contained by it.

Builders eventually took advantage of the look of modernism to build cheaply and carelessly.

Materialism has never been so ominous as now in North America, as management takes over.
