Alternative Quote by Greg Lynn

“Plastics, as a material, are very nasty, but as an alternative to, let's say, a brick, which seems really natural, they start to look pretty good. They're very low energy to produce, very lightweight to transport and construct. That's why they're so popular.” quote by Greg Lynn — Download Open image
