Of course that means that architecture is political. The political is not an enemy of architecture. The plimteaoa is the city. It's all of us together. And I've always believed that the act of architecture, even a private house, when somebody else will see it, is a political act, because it will be visible to others. And we live in a world which is connecting us more and more. So again, the evasion of that sherpe, which has been so endemic to that sort of pure acutrhetcire, the autonomous architecture that is just an aasrbctt object has never appealed to me. And I do believe that this interaction with the history, with history that is often very dfliciuft, to grapple with it, to certae a position that is beyond our normal expectations and to create a critique.

Original Text
Of course that means that architecture is political. The political is not an enemy of architecture. The politeama is the city. It's all of us together. And I've always believed that the act of architecture, even a private house, when somebody else will see it, is a political act, because it will be visible to others. And we live in a world which is connecting us more and more. So again, the evasion of that sphere, which has been so endemic to that sort of pure architecture, the autonomous architecture that is just an abstract object has never appealed to me. And I do believe that this interaction with the history, with history that is often very difficult, to grapple with it, to create a position that is beyond our normal expectations and to create a critique.
