when subtitles suggest buildings...

"the architectural setting
is a box to hold light and shade,
bright sunrays
and grey winter twilight"



"in the natural death of a building
there is no ugliness,
only sorrow.
the most simple,
and therefore accessible
for everyone.
the ruins...
one can look at them endlessly.
and this undoubtably
cures one of arrogance."
