Architecture is about public space held by buildings.

Of course I know very little about architecture, and the older I get the less I know.

Architecture is always political.

We used to build temples, and museums are about as close as secular society dares to go in facing up to the idea that a good building can change your life (and a bad one ruin it).

Until now, we've been a group of buildings surrounded by parking lots, ... Now the garden brings all the buildings together and gives us a real presence and identity.

Most buildings, whether they're Gothic cathedrals or Romanesque ones, were high tech for their time.
