When I started this project, I was a young architect. I was very apprehensive about any changes to the design.

Cities and landscapes are illustrations of our spiritual and material worth. They not only express our values but give them a tangible reality. They determine the way in which we use or squander our energy, time, and land resources. ↗

Architecture, of all the arts, is the one which acts the most slowly, but the most surely, on the soul. ↗
