“A good building should satisfy the principles of firmitatis utilitatis venustatis.”

• UTILITY – it should be useful; and function well for the people using it.
• BEAUTY – it should delight people, and raise their spirits.
Is this a work of an architecture?
“You employ stone, wood, and concrete, and with these materials
you build houses and palaces: that is construction. Ingenuity is at work. But suddenly you touch my heart, you do me good. I am happy and I
say: This is beautiful. That is Architecture.”
