Conditions Quotes

“Even today to be civilised is held to be synonymous with being westernised. Advanced countries devote large resources to formulating and spreading ideas and doctrines and they tend to impose on the developing nations their own norms and methods. The pattern of the classical acquisitive society with its deliberate multiplication of wants not only is unsuited to conditions in our countries but is positively harmful.”

“What I resist is techniques. I find techniques very problematic. So when critics talk about my work in those terms, I find that they miss the condition.

So it's not about pattern, but the notion of architecture through the lens of textile, rather than architecture through the lens of brick and mortar.”
