  • 3. One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture should speak of its time and place but yearn for timelessness.
  • 2. Without this spirit Modernist architecture cannot fully exist. Since there is often a mismatch between the logic and the spirit of Modernism I use architecture to reconcile the two.
