I am becoming more and more

interested in the totemic value

of architecture particularly as it resonates,

like all art and literature, with

the blueprint of civilization.

That is, architecture, like art (from music

to film to capitalist democracy's)

functions with such agile

response to changes in cultural

environment that they function much

like the ideal individual -

they are, like the great nation

of Canada, archetypes as well as totems

of freedom....
