You speak for everyone, when you are only qualified to speak for yourself.<br /><br />(Also... even if you could speak for everyone... is "spiritual renewal" or "communal fellowship" something most people actually look for or remotely expect to find in a typical public building? This isn't a cathedral or church or other "spiritual" building - it's effectively an unconventional looking convention center.)G.

Why must modern architecture be so dehumanizing? At no point in looking at such a building does one feel spiritual renewal or communal fellowship.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14442944847913877189noreply@blogger.com
