"Buildings of this technological age
usually deliberately aim at ageless perfection,
and they do not incorporate the dimension of time,
or the unavoidable and mentally significant
process of age."

- Juhani Pallasma, Eyes of the Skin

"We can find the world inescapably meaningful and real precisely because of, and not in spite of, its “obstinacy”—
we must wind our lives around the real
and live in its voids and opportunities."

Michael Benedikt, An Architecture for Reality
