What ever man might build could never express or reflect more than he was.

Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.“形式追随功能，这已被误解。形式和功能还应加入精神的统一。” Architecture is life, or at least it is life itself taking form and therefore it is the truest record of life as it was lived in the world yesterday, as it is lived today or ever will be lived.“建筑就是生活，至少它决定了生活的状态，因此它是生活最真实的纪录，从建筑的诞生到结束都是这样。” If you foolishly ignore beauty, youll soon find yourself without it.
