"I think...the difference between regarding architecture as the design of art objects as pure design [is] in a sense unrelated to the way in which the building will be used. It's the difference between looking at architecture as an art object, as a three-dimensional painting, as a convenient exploration for an art critic, and regarding architecture as a kind of sociological art form that participates in the development of the community, that participates in the further development of the--I hate to use the word functional because it's a throwback to another period--but what I have described to you are the designs which come out of a wedding between the space as used and the people who use the space. In a sense, the building is a comment, a statement, a mirror of the way each person in that building will reach out and either surround himself with that space or touch the space or remodel the space....I don't see buildings being divorced from the people inside the buildings or outside the buildings even. Everybody hugs the building in some form. It's a sensuous kind of experience."
