"Architecture has perhaps not so much need to be looked at (except by visiting architects). All of which makes me think that the first ecological act for us architects is without doubt to integrate our work with real life."
Good architecture needs to perform as a projectionists screen at the cinema. This screen should allow for a motion picture to be projected reflected or cast upon it in its own full glorious Technicolor with each individual stroke of light passing freely over it. A film could never be enjoyed as it was intended if the viewing screen was coloured or detailed in a way as to obstruct, distort or disrupt the moving pictures. This same principle should be applied to architectural form. How can lifestyle occur at any kind of optimum if it is being obstructed, distorted or disrupted by unnecessary and superficial colour, pattern or style?
