Connie "Lots of architects want to be heard, right? With him, it's as if the voice is so quiet it doesn't really matter whether you hear it or not."

"Same with religion. In the beginning it may have been something people had to keep quiet about. Early Christians were often persecuted, so they lay low, talked in whispers. But after Christianity was officially recognized, churches started getting bigger, and worshippers didn't have to worry about making a noise. The priest raised his voice, church architecture got grander, and organs got louder and louder. Modern architecture—especially skyscrapers—has pretty much followed the same path, wouldn't you say?"
