'Every building tells a story'

摘要

"No, it doesn't," I said to Ben when he produced tickets to a lecture with this title. "Writers tell stories, Architects make buildings. A building isn't a story, it's a part of the world." "So is a book," he says. For once he and Billie, rational cop and emotional cop, are in agreement. The hall is packed with architects and the two on stage are the most colourful of the lot. They talk about narratives and contexts.
