Dear Virpi,

"Humans belong to nature as much as pines and birches

do. That is where the scale comes from. I can not ignore

it. I can not turn humans into giants or dwarves. I have

to conform to the current human dimensions."

(Alvar Aalto)

Sincerely,

Dear Maria,

Dear Aulis,

of my work. Mathematics is meant to explain things:

it is easier to understand an environment with a 

mathematical character." (Aarno Ruusuvuori)

its presence, makes the overall environment look better,

good by virtue of its relationship with the surrounding

buildings."(Kazuyo Sejima)

Dear Goran,

"In almost every task involving form, there are dozens,

often hundreds of contradictory elements, which need to

be forced to work in harmony by man's will. This 

harmony can be achieved only through art."

Estimado Rubén,

"La luz tiene un significado esencial en nuestra fe

cristiana. Se trataba de crear un espacio de oración

y celebración de los misterios cristianos que la 

liturgia desarrolla. Espacio que no deseabamos

abierto al exterior, a pesar de lo atractivo del 

paisaje, si no vuelto hacia el interior, buscando un

recogimiento." (Martin Correa Prieto)

Saludos,

R
