“The fact is that building, everything involved in building, is necessarily an act against nature; it is an anti-natural act… When someone chooses a site, they separate it from nature.”

“Rooms may owe their existence to an idea but, in the end, they consist of physical matter, of material that often obeys no idea at all and only wants to exercise its own rights.”
