Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.

Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space. Living, Changing, New. Not yesterday, not tomorrow, only today can be given form. Only such architecture is creative.

Architecture depends on its time. It is the crystallization of its inner structure, the slow unfolding of its form.

In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route.
