"I believe that the original intention
of our architecture was to create an architectural connection
between the sky and the earth, a connection which enlightens
an expresses man's movement and position, to create a magic,
weaving an invisible spell on its surroundings.
We try to summon up the architecture of a mythical era.
Our aim is to counteract the subsensible spell of technical
civilization using supersensible imaginative power."
Imre Makovecz 1985
