> "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
