Buildings are without intrinsic life but provide a stage for the unfolding of life.  To focus on buildings without considering the life taking place in and around them is to miss the purpose of architecture.  Even buildings that are unquestionably beautiful objects in their own right require life to appreciate and celebrate them.

The true purpose of architecture is to provide places of becoming for humankind.

“The city is a collection of places;
An organization –
Places for
Meditation
Work
Play
Sleep
Worship
Places constructed by humanity for humanity.
A place of living and of becoming.”
  Henry Lafferty – January 1984
