> "We shape our buildings.  Thereafter, they shape us".
>  --Winston Churchill


Stewart Brand quotes this in "How Buildings Learn" and then refines
it. Brand quotes Churchill this way:

  We shape our buildings, and afterwards our buildings shape us.
  --Winston Churchill

Brand refines this to:

  First we shape our buildings, then they shape us, then we shape
  them again--ad infinitum. Function reforms form, perpetually.
  --Stewart Brand
    How Buildings Learn, p. 3
