thoughts of an architect

"A work of art is not a living thing as it walks or runs

but the making of the life, that which gives you a reaction;

to somebody's the wonder of man's fingers, 

to somebody's the wonder of the mind, 

to somebody's the wonder of technique,

and to some it is how real it is, to some how transcendant it is, 

like the 5th Symphony...

it presents itself with a feeling,

that you know it if you heard it once, and you'll look for it;

though you know it, you must hear it again,

though you know it, you must hear it again.

Truly, a work of art is one that tells us that

nature cannot make what man can make."

- Louis I. Kahn
