The tall modern office building is the machine pure and simple...the engine, the motor and the battleship the works of the century.

We create our buildings and then they create us. Likewise, we construct our circle of friends and our communities and then they construct us.

A building is not just a place to be but a way to be.

How many understand that Nature is the essential character of whatever is. It's something you'll find by looking not at, but in, always in. It's always inside the thing, and it makes the outside. And some day, when you get sufficiently proficient in understanding the use of the term, you can tell by the outside pretty much from what's inside.

Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.
