| bridges: "are perhaps the most integrated architectural structures, since they suppose not only one, but two preexisting features of a landscape, and the division between them.� it is meaningless to talk about the bridge without the chasm, or the connection without a distance.� function and structure are inseparably conjoined.� no bridge, in this sense, can be free standing."� -David Noroix, architect (zoot suit and mustache).� | ||||
| "If we imagine a landscape riven through with valleys, holes, abscesses, many layers of stacked and corroded canyons, and then hundreds of bridges haphazardly constructed to span and connect this perforated earth, and that the land afterward has crumbled and fallen away, disappeared, but the bridges are somehow left standing, and new bridges are built to connect the old at their terminal points--in short a world made entirely of free standing connections whose origins have elapsed. This is perhaps the most accurate model of the human brain."� -Gavin Hue, psychologist (eiffel tower on desk, sentimental reasons). | ||||
