The construction of Europe is an art. It is the art of the possible.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Europe is so well gardened that it resembles a work of art, a scientific theory, a neat metaphysical system. Man has re-created Europe in his own image.
The Europe we are in the process of building is the Europe of the 21st century; it's not the Europe of the 20th century.
Information and inspiration are everywhere... history, art, architecture, everything an illustrator needs. Europe is, after all, the land that has generated most of the enduring myths and legends of Western culture.
What we have to do is reinvent the idea of Europe.
If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.
In Europe, architects consider themselves artists. They think they're special when they win a competition.
To create a work of art is to create the world.
Europe has what we do not have yet, a sense of the mysterious and inexorable limits of life, a sense, in a word, of tragedy. And we have what they sorely need: a sense of life's possibilities.
If, early on, you know how things are put together, then you can build. The architect is in charge of making - he is not an artist.
Everyone should be able to build, and as long as this freedom to build does not exist, the present-day planned architecture cannot be considered art at all.
