When done right, buildings are a kind of dialogue with nature and our own deeper, sensual nature. The sights, smells, texture and sounds of the built environment evoke memories, initiate streams of thought, engage soothe, provoke, bind or block abilities.
When done badly, the result is the spiritual emptiness characteristic of a great deal of modern design that reveals, in turn, a poverty of thought, perception and felling manifest of ugliness.
