An architect should live as little in cities as a painter. Send him to our hills, and let him study there what nature understands by a buttress, and what by a dome.

  • -- John Ruskin 约翰·罗斯金

建筑师应该像画家一样少住在城市里。把他送到我们的山上去,让他在那里研究什么是自然通过扶壁了解的,什么是通过拱顶了解的。

为什么我们不能在设计中使用曲线和拱门来表达情感呢?他们怎么了?为什么所有的东西都必须是垂直的、笔直的、不弯曲的,只有在直角的时候才有用?
