建筑必须是过去和未来之间的桥梁。
Architecture must be a bridge between the past and the future.
Nowadays, particularly in the United States, if you meet someone at the bottom of society, they may unkindly be described as a "loser." There's a real difference between an unfortunate and a loser, and that shows 400 years of evolution in society and our belief in who is responsible for our lives. It's no longer the gods, it's us. We're in the driving seat.
Sustainability isn't an option; it's a responsibility we owe to future generations.
