| Action born of reflection plays a major part in the growth of a sensibility, and it may take several generations before a sensibility about cities can become operational...this was the case with sensibility about nature: the picturesque started in the fifteenth century. Such a statement may appear odd considering the instant quality of our culture, a quality we take to be natural to it...but it is in fact natural only to some part of the entertainment media. Alison and Peter Smithson, Without Rhetoric |

| There is a scale of things all to do with the land, at one end of which are the forces of nature, the perception of which, at any given place, I would call landscape. At the other end of the scale are the local difficulties solved, and the opportunities opened, by our use of machines - and somewhere in between are the buildings, which, if conceived grandly and accurately enough, can extend outward to embrace each end of the scale. Landscapes, buildings, and machines. Paul Shepheard, What is Architecture? |
