Arata Isozaki
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"Ruins can be seen as fragments within the complex of absolute and imaginative time forming definite proof of past facts, facts broken and destroyed . .. They have hidden effects on us, stimulating fantasies, visions and illusions. The elevated gardens of Babylon, Easter Island, the ancient Mayan pyramids, and the Celtic megalithic culture; the Pillars of Hercules, and the continent of Atlantis. It is no exaggeration to say that we live within endless series of such fantasies."--"Ruins" (1960) by Arata Isozaki |
