MYINTERESTINARCHITECTUREANDURBANDESIGN

“One building standing alone in the countryside is experienced as a work of architecture, but bring half a dozen of buildings together and an art other than architecture is made possible. Several things begin to happen in the

group, which would be impossible for the isolated building.”
