Just found this while browsing through a recently acquired (like, this evening!) collection of old AXIS<\/a> magazines, dating back to 1992, from a neighbor moving out and getting rid of stuff.

Design is a question of essence; and at the same time it is also a question of exigency. <\/p>\n

Architecture too is one of those cultural witnesses that give expression to the structures of feeling of its time.

When I design architecture, I imagine where people will go once they have entered the building and what their pathways through the building will be like.
