Quote of the Day: “A house is not a machine to live-in..."

“A house is not a machine to live-in. It is the shell of man, his extension, his release, his spiritual emanation. Not only its visual harmony but its organisation as a whole, the whole work combined together make it human in the most profound sense... The poverty of modern architecture stems from the atrophy of sensuality.”
      ~ Eileen Gray, architect and designer
