Research output: Contribution to conference › Other

Abstract

Every human action gains in honour, in grace, in all true magnificence, by its regard to things that are to come.…when we build let us think that we build forever.…for, indeed, the greatest glory of a building is not its stones, nor in its gold. Its glory is in its age, and in that deep sense of voicefulness, of stern watching, of mysterious sympathy…which we feel in walls that have long been washed by the passing waves of humanity. John Ruskin, The Lamp of Memory, from The Seven Lamps of Architecture (London, 1848).
