I do not believe in adding enrichment merely for the sake of enrichment. Unless it adds clearness to the enunciation of the theme, it is undesirable, for it is very little understood.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
We create our buildings and then they create us. Likewise, we construct our circle of friends and our communities and then they construct us.
