Experienced with a reserved judgment and a heightened sense of discovery, expectation, and understanding, the canon, in architecture as in philosophy, helps us in our quest to make the quotidian extraordinary.

QUOTATIONS:

"An interesting plainness is the most difficult and most precious thing to achieve." >R.M.Schindler, Architect "Care of the Body", 1926

"...do but design with the owl's eyes first, and you will gain the falcon's afterwards." >John Ruskin The Seven Lamps of Architecture, 1880

"Goethe, who in speaking of Paganini hit on a definition of the duende: 'A mysterious force that everyone feels and no philosopher has explained.' So, then, the duende is a force not a labour, a struggle not a thought. I heard an old maestro of the guitar say: 'The duende is not in the throat: the duende surges up, inside, from the soles of the feet.' Meaning, it's not a question of skill, but of a style that's truly alive: meaning, it's in the veins: meaning, it's of the most ancient culture of immediate creation." >Garcia Lorca, Theory and Play Of The Duende

"All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space." >Philip Johnson

"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." >Anais Nin

"Space and light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep." >Le Corbusier"
