buildings in a future urban conglomerate. Be patient and maybe in one or two hundred years, this agglomeration will be as fascinating as Los Angeles. And the young architects who have been trained in the world’s metropolises will invent astonishing solutions for these new agglomerations.
Not everything can be beautiful to begin with. But as far as l’m concerned this intermediate stage is the most desolate relationship between landscape and city that l can possibly imagine. Urban sprawl makes landscape disappear, and the more landscape that is taken away from me the more I suffer from the loss of beauty.
l could only be reconciled if this process were ultimately to spawn the vital energy of a new city.
