Iskanje novih konceptov bivanja
"Dobra arhitektura je materializirana abstrakcija, kajti šele abstrakcija dovoli razumeti bistvo.", so bile uvodne besede Williama J.R.
Curtisa na lanskoletnem
predavanju študentom arhitekture
na ljubljanski fakulteti.
V človeški naravi je iskanje in razumevanje bistva prvinski nagon, radovednost pa je genski zapis, ki sili posameznika v nenehna raziskovanja in odkrivanja še neznanega, s tem pa v
