“ The rigidity of a bottle's form does not affect the fluidity of the liquid it contains. ”
Viewed from a certain distance and under good light, even an ugly city can look like the promised land.
~ Leon Krier
Cities and landscapes are illustrations of our spiritual and material worth. They not only express our values but give them a tangible reality. They determine the way in which we use or squander our energy, time, and land resources.
Authentic architecture is not the incarnation of the spirit of the age but of the spirit, full stop.
A city is not an accident but the result of coherent visions and aims.
