1. Architecture is the masterful, correct,
and magnificent play of volumes brought
together in light. Our eyes were made
for seeing forms in light; shadow and
light reveal forms; cubes, cones, spheres,
cylinders and pyramids are the great
primary forms that light reveals well; the
image is clear and tangible for us, without
amibiguity. That is why these are beautiful
forms, the most beautiful forms.

22. Architectural emotion: that’s when the
work resounds inside us in tune with a
universe whose laws we are subject to,
recognize and admire. When certain
relationships are achieved, we are
apprehended by the work. Architecture
is a matter of ‘relationships,’ a ‘pure
creation of the mind.’
-Toward an Architecture, 1925
