“Architects are deluding themselves if they believe that they are addressing submissive audiences, eager to communicate; that their public wants by all means to understand (even to decipher, if necessary) the meaning of architecture as seen by the designer. […] What people want to see is their own meanings in the environment – with their own system of values, from their own frames of reference, shaped by the expressive systems that they share with their community but not necessarily with the designer. And this is exactly what they do, whether designers like it or not.”
