Architecture Quote by Lebbeus Woods

“I'm not interested in living in a fantasy world ... All my work is still meant to evoke real architectural spaces. But what interests me is what the world would be like if we were free of conventional limits. Maybe I can show what could happen if we lived by a different set of rules.” quote by Lebbeus Woods — Download Open image
