Because no one is born in emptiness, I believe life follows habitat. Therefore I feel it is very important to make architecture harmonious and mutually advantageous for both the building and the culture of the town it belongs in. If that town's culture is unsatisfying, then architecture should be used to incite change. All revolutions, in order to become revolutionary, must have meeting spots for their provoking members and their unassuming counterparties. When designing a building you must decide what it is for and what it can be made for once its prior function is exhausted.

It is for this reason that I feel architecture is very humanistic. Both romantic while knowing it can never be loved, (its purpose can be sacrificed at any time for human desires) yet heroic, almost to an extent where it highlights the tragedy of heroism, knowing that in order for there to be heroes there must be unsettling circumstances (confident, proud, a beautiful building in a marsh of ugliness). In summation, I feel architecture should both command and conform, to complement and act as an example of life.
