Architecture makes lasting monuments.
For a building not only shelters people, it also embodies their needs and their ideas. However successful, or however strange and foolish buildings may look to the casual passerby, they all tell us a great deal about our past and something about ourselves. They are human minds, souls and bodies commemorated in material forms, the spirit of the ages in timber and stone.
