What is architecture anyway?
Is it the vast collection of the various buildings which have been built to please the varying taste of the various lords of mankind?
I think not. No, I know that architecture is life; or at least it is life itself taking form and therefore it is the truest record of life as it was lived in the world yesterday, as it is lived today or ever will be lived.
So architecture I know to be a Great Spirit.
It can never be something which consist of the buildings which have been built by man on earth … mostly a rubbish heap or soon to be one.
Architecture is that great living creative spirit which from generation to generation, from age to age, proceeds, persists, creates, according to the nature of man, and his circumstances as they change.
That is really architecture.
