"Visions describe what best should be, could be - if and when mankind has the will to make them real."
Mankind
"For many years, I have lived uncomfortably with the belief that most planning and architectural design suffers for lack of real and basic purpose. The ultimate purpose, it seems to me, must be the improvement of mankind."
