Most Of The Wonderful Places

From A Sequence Of These Individual Patterns, Whole Buildings With The Character Of Nature Will Form Themselves Within Your Thoughts, As Easily As Sentences.

We Must Face The Fact That We Are On The Brink Of Times When Man May Be Able To Magnify His Intellectual And Inventive Capability, Just As In The Nineteenth Century He Used Machines To Magnify His Physical Capacity. Again, As Then, Our Innocence Is Lost. And Again, Of Course, The Innocence, Once Lost, Cannot Be Regained. The Loss Demands Attention, Not Denial.

It Is Possible To Make Buildings By Stringing Together Patterns, In A Rather Loose Way. A Building Made Like This, Is An Assembly Of Patterns. It Is Not Dense. It Is Not Profound. But It Is Also Possible To Put Patterns Together In Such A Way That Many Patterns Overlap In The Same Physical Space: The Building Is Very Dense; It Has Many Meanings Captured In A Small Space; And Through This Density, It Becomes Profound.

One Begins To Think With That New Building Block, Rather Than With Littler Pieces. And Finally, The Things Which Seem Like Elements Dissolve, And Leave A Fabric Of Relationships Behind, Which Is The Stuff That Actually Repeats Itself, And Gives The Structure To A Building Or A Town.
