Dear Txema,

in a civilized manner – is essential to the future of

Dear Ken,

"We took all the mechanicals off the roof. This freed 

us to create a super light cutting-edge structure, a 

canopy saturated with light. In doing so, it saved the 

airport thousands of tons of steel and reduced the 

construction schedule by nine months.”
(Curtis Fentress)

Respectfully,

Dear Melissa,

"The whiteness clarifies the intention in terms of the way
in which light comes, in various ways, into the building;
and I think for me color is something which comes from
all the things which are out of control, the change of
nature, the uses of the building, the people in the building...
Everything gives it color" (Richard Meier)
Interesting way of approaching to the concept of use of
color in buildings, don't you think?

Best
R
