ARCHITECTURE

Architecture  should speak of its time and place,

but yearn for timelessness.

Frank Gehry

 

Architecture reveals what the people and communities that created it valued, and how they thought about human beings, society, beauty and the transcendent.

More than that, architecture is the art of making room for life – by creating walls. It shapes not only the material spaces we inhabit, but also the conditions in which we live: Often subtly, it influences, how we meet, work, rest and feel.

There is plenty to learn from good architecture (beyond steel, stone and glass): How to create beauty and environments that encourages connection, belonging and dignity and therefore human flourishing.
