4. Architecture is a movement and it transforms its surroundings
5. References homes as primitive places
6. Architecture must be as intimate as a family member



Buckminster Fuller

2. Love is metaphysical gravity
3. Ideals of ephemeralisation; “doing more and more with less and less until you can do everything with nothing”

5. Reorganising the environment for prosperity
6. “Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment.”
