Lebbeus, take three:

“how are architects going to respond to this new, unprecedented human condition? Who cares about the monuments — the monuments are meant to last forever. The every day doesn’t last forever.” On the Guggenheim: “It will always be restored … Will look the same in perpetuity.” Is cut off by Gugg staff due to time, refuses questions, asks to read “manifesto” called “Slow Architecture.”

“Architecture that comforts, but only those who ask for no comfort … Architecture that insults politicians because they cannot claim it as their own.”

Lebbeus, take two:

“Architects designing museums is strange to me … it [museum design] should be in a minor key … Designing objects to hold objects …”
