All buildings must be executed in such a way as to take account of durability, utility and beauty.
Vitruvius

To describe a building as beautiful therefore suggests more than a mere aesthetic fondness; it implies an attraction to the particular way of life this structure is promoting through its roof, door handles, window frames, staircase and furnishings. A feeling of beauty is a sign that we have come upon a material articulation of certain ideas of a good life.
Alain de BottonThe Architecture of Happiness, 2006, p72

"Architecture is always marshalling possibilities from all directions to do something that hasn't happened before,” … "Not for the hell of it, not for your ego but to create a degree of progress and make life more adventurous and give a sense of drive to society as a whole.”
Rem Koolhaas
