There are no straight lines or sharp corners in nature. Therefore, buildings must have no straight lines or sharp corners.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Concrete you can mold, you can press it into - after all, you haven't any straight lines in your body. Why should we have straight lines in our architecture? You'd be surprised when you go into a room that has no straight line - how marvelous it is that you can feel the walls talking back to you, as it were.
In nature there are few sharp lines.
Architecture is restricted to such a limited vocabulary. A building is either a high-rise or a perimeter block or a town house.
I don't see that any buildings should be excluded from the term architecture, as long as they are done properly.
There is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear, because with concrete you can cover almost any space.
A building has integrity just like a man. And just as seldom.
In other words, each piece of the building must look as though it was designed for that particular building.
And a building must be like a human being. It must have a wholeness about it, something that is very important.
All architecture, classical or not, must have some sense of order, and order is much harder to achieve without the straight lines and right angles that have dominated the building art from time immemorial.
Good buildings come from good people, and all problems are solved by good design.
