“It is the work of Architecture to create the requisite sections on the mounds of the inauthentic forms of the past, for the movements of the mechanical forces and people between such movements to emerge , transparent and to their full extent. Moreover, technical asymmetries must be complimented by the symmetries of the natural, to bring about a “natural architecture that does not exist as of yet”. From the outset, it is certain that this natural architecture cannot emanate just from the use of natural materials, it cannot be structured on their functional or aesthetic abilities, but has to be the abstract derivative of a cosmic engineering, an ecological technology to which man and his constructions, works of art and works of Architecture are subject”.
