    “FREEHOLD MAISONETTES”: THE HANGING GARDENS
    Each garden is completely shut off from its neighbour.
  • Аня Будзинскаяhas quoted8 years ago
    The objects in nature and the results of calculation are clearly and cleanly formed; they are organized without ambiguity. It is because we see clearly that we can read, learn and feel their harmony. I repeat: clear statement is essential in a work of art.
    If the works of nature live, and if the creations of calculation move and produce activity in us, it is because they are both animated by a unity of the intention which is responsible for them. I repeat: there must be a unity of aim in the work of art.
