Does an architecture to assuage the spirit have a place?

I plead for conservation of human culture, which is much more fragile than nature herself. We needn't destroy other cultures with the force of our own.

God's designs may be frequent justification for our actions, but it is we, the self-made men, who take the credit.

Compared to industry in Europe or Japan, where industry was based on a craft tradition, we are sadly behind.

Bankers cannot afford to be concerned with only the economic aspects of projects. There may be serious implications on the natural environment, the urban environment, on human culture.

Architecture doesn't come from theory. You don't think your way through a building.
