“ The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present. ”
Be not afraid of being called un-fashionable.
~ Adolf Loos
It is ridiculous to lay down to people where a thing should stand, design everything for them from the lavatory pan to the ashtray. On the contrary, I like people to move their furniture so that it suits them (not me!), and it's quite natural (and I approve) when they bring the old pictures and mementos they have come to love into a new interior, irrespective of whether they are good taste or bad.
Be truthful, nature only sides with truth.
Architecture arouses sentiments in man. The architect's task therefore, is to make those sentiments more precise.
