| gptkbp:famousQuote |
“The sun never knew how great it was until it hit the side of a building.”
“A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.” “I sense a great responsibility in being a part of the world.” “What is the building that we are going to build? It is the building that we are going to build.” “The space between the buildings is the most important part.” |
