Martin Heidegger
To build is already an expression of dwelling, and dwelling means to save the earth, receive the sky, await the divinities and escort mortals, so a building only makes a true place when it gathers this fourfold rather than merely enclosing volume.
Christian Norberg-Schulz
Every place has a particular spirit or genius loci that architecture must identify and make manifest, because dwelling means orienting oneself within a meaningful, not merely measurable, environment.
