Architecture is the art form that people live inside — which means its legacy is not only aesthetic but experiential, shaping the daily texture of life for those who inhabit it long after the architect is gone. The building that welcomes, that orients, that makes human gathering easier and more beautiful, is a form of care extended across time. The one that serves the ego of its maker at the expense of its users leaves a different kind of mark.
Each step builds on the last.
