"The patrimonial obsession of the authentic, which tends to turn the world into a museum and to make us, in a way, tourists of our own existence, may well substitute the reassuring and consensual virtue of exegetic comments to the critical faculty. This is indispensable to all living memory and all acts of creation. More than other art disciplines - those highly inventive skills -, and far from being a protective case or screen, architecture may provide a way to materialise and to feel the space that links us to the world and to others. I believe that this is the lesson the authors of this book invite us to meditate upon ... In other words, architecture is potentially a shared language, rather than a confiscated expert's word, and there is the possibility to act in and upon the world by jointly planned action of the disgno and the ingenio that convoke space and time, mixing together language and body"--Daniel Vander Gucht (p. [4] of cover).
