... architecture is not building. Buildings are objects and the act of construction leads to such objects, but architecture is how we think and talk about buildings, how we represent them, and how we build them. More generally, architecture is a way of representing, shaping and offering critical alternatives to the built environment. In a tangible sense, architecture is that which allows us to be at home in the world. In our society, buildings are too often the residue of the desire to make another world - a better world, open to possibilities beyond the everyday.
