Two explorations of architecture's qualities. A whole new wave of vindicating justifications has risen with the advent of computers, the kingdom par excellence of immateriality. Angels are incorporeal, but have got a blazing power.
Angels are microwaves.
I also like to see it as a surrender to the powerful forces of human exploitation. Even though partially, movies have given us the possibility to experience feelings that don't belong to our time or to our space. Being at home we can use a library the same way we would if we were there. Predictably, we'll continue to be linked to our material condition, and our basic needs will still exist. With that, the function of architecture won't disappear.
