Architecture is frozen music.

*I like to see a man
standing at the foot of a skyscraper. It makes him no bigger than an ant-
isn't that the correct bromide for the occasion? The God-damn fools! It's
man who made it-the whole incredible mass of stone and steel. It doesn't
dwarf him, it makes him greater than the structure. It reveals his true
dimensions to the world. What we love about these buildings. . .is the
creative faculty, the heroic in man.
