Organization
“. . . A good house is a single thing, as well as a collection of many, and
to make it requires a conceptual leap from the individual components
to a vision of the whole. The choices … represent ways of assembling
the parts.
. . . the basic parts of a house can be put together to make more than
just basic parts: They can also make space, pattern, and outside
domains. They dramatize the most elementary act which architecture
has to perform. To make one plus one equal more than two, you must in
doing any one thing you think important (making rooms, putting them
together, or fitting them to the land) do something else that you think
important as well (make spaces to live, establish a meaningful pattern
inside, or claim other realms outside).”
