“When people's love is divided by law, it is the law that needs to change.”
“Post-Modern space is historically specific, rooted in conventions, unlimited or ambiguous in zoning and irrational or transformational in its relation of parts to wholeâ€¦â€¦. â€¦skew or distorted spaces, created by sharp angles which exaggerate perspectiveâ€¦. â€¦always keep a mental coordinate system no matter how free- form and baroque they become.
