I would say that to put architecture in the chain of history, to be able to interpret and understand why we are where we are, is quite crucial.

At the Museum of Roman Art, the logic of the forms is very much modern. But in spite of that, the idea of the construction could be related to a historical time.

I liked painting and drawing, and I liked humanities mainly - poetry, literature - this speculative attitude toward life.

Buildings are always better than drawings and models.

Not only are they destroying architecture of note, they are destroying history.

The history and architecture of this restored 1845 synagogue, open as a historic site by the Jewish Museum of Maryland, sums up some of the dramatic changes in American Judaism and in American taste before and after the Civil War. Built for the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation in Greek-temple design, it has served many congregations, not all Jewish.
