Mask your brightness. Be at one with the dust of the earth. This is primal union.
Trumpeting diversity undermines what you are trying to achieve in the first place. It should happen without fanfare.
A truly great structure, one that is meant to stand the tests of time, never disregards its environment. A serious architect takes that into account. He knows that if he wants presence, he must consult with nature.
