Architecture aims at Eternity

The secret of architectural excellence is to translate the proportions of a dachshund into bricks, mortar and marble.

They swore by concrete. They built for eternity.

We (the administration) feel both contracts are agreeable as to what the city and the township are looking for,

Si monumentum requiris circumspice

(If you seek his monument, look around.)

[Epitaph on Wren's tomb in St. Paul's Cathedral]

In things to be seen at once, much variety makes confusion, another vice of beauty. In things that are not seen at once, and have no respect one to another, great variety is commendable, provided this variety transgress not the rules of optics and geometry.
