life nature children
Buildings, too, are children of Earth and Sun.

Youth is a circumstance you can't do anything about. The trick is to grow up without getting old.
artist cities looks
To look at the cross-section of any plan of a big city is to look at something like the section of a fibrous tumor.
light building seems
More and more, so it seems to me, light is the beautifier of the building.

The architect should strive continually to simplify; the ensemble of the rooms should then be carefully considered that comfort and utility may go hand in hand with beauty.

Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods, and men, to put man into possession of his own Earth. It is at least the geometric pattern of things, of life, of the human and social world. It is at best that magic framework of reality that we sometimes touch upon when we use the word order.
architecture ifs architect
If you wisely invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.

freedom 4th-of-july thrive
Freedom is from within.
