Architecture is physical, tangible and material. It is concrete, steel and glass. It is wood, brick and stone. It shelters and protects us by partitioning the vast expanses of physical space.
David Borkenhagen • For Jung, architecture was a tool to represent the psyche
Architecture is not an economic commodity that can be corrected by market forces, nor an engineering problem that can be honed towards an optimal solution. Architecture is a spiritual ethic, one that both shapes and is shaped by the ambient zeitgeist of the society it stands in.
