Sketches of Frank Gary: Paul Goldberger

"It is important...but it's not bread on the table...it gives deep depth on the background of life,"
- Paul Goldberger

It's been three and a half months since I thought in depth about architecture. Even if I haven't been thinking about it, I can't not see it. It's everywhere. It's where we eat, sleep and study. It
is in our daily lives, to a point where we don't see it that way. It fades away. Paul Goldberger is right when he says,"It's important...but not bread in the table." It's important in the sense that it makes up our daily lives. It's in our cycle. Where we eat, live, sleep, learn? In a building. And what's a building? Architecture.
As Goldberger said,"Architecture is with us all the time, like it or not." He keeps going back to the topic of Architecture being everywhere. It creates who we are "it's history, it's culture. Not only does it make up a single person's life, but it also makes up and entire population's life and history. Like our buildings, they have a unique history. They tell the story of how we progressed. How we've progressed, yet we kept our culture and incorporated it into our lives.
