"Architecture is full of romantics who think that even relatively small changes to the built environment create the aspiration for a better society."
-Mark Wigley
“…find pleasure in dwelling upon the crabbed, perverse, and morose animation of plants that have known little kindness from earth or heaven, but, season after season, have had their best efforts palsied by frost, their brightest buds buried under snow, and their goodliest limbs lopped by tempest.”
Excerpt from “The Nature of Gothic” John Ruskin
