The best architecture comes from a synthesis of all the elements that separately comprise a building: the structure that holds it up; the services that allow it to function; its ecology; the quality of natural light; the symbolism of the form; the relationship of the building to the skyline and the surrounding public space.
最好的建筑来自于所有构成建筑的元素的综合：支撑它的结构；使其运转的服务设施；它的生态；自然光的质量；形式的象征意义；建筑与天际线和周围公共空间的关系。
The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history.
It is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom。
