“Each of us may be moved most deeply by a particular
form of creative inspiration, one by music and another by painting. But
architecture is inescapable. More than we know, it determines our state of
mind. Bad design can offend the sensitive almost physically, and even the man
who thinks he does not notice may be degraded by the vulgarity and emptiness of
his setting.”—Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Anthony
Lewis (1927-2013), “Building to Give Us a Shock of Delight,” The New York Times, Mar. 14, 1970
