There are fashions in building. Behind the fashions lie economic and technological reasons, and these fashions exclude all but a few genuinely different possibilities in city dwelling construction at any one time.

There are two ways you encounter things in the world that are different. One is everything that comes in reinforces what you already believe and everything that you know.

Artists, whatever their medium, make selections from the abounding materials of life, and organize these selections into works that are under the control of the artist....
