Great quote from William Wurster

I was reading the monthly alumni mag from Cal Berkeley this morning and there was a small piece about the 50th Anniversary of the College of Environmental Design*. The author, Ezra Carlsen, included a quote from co-founder William Wurster that captures my feelings about Architecture with remarkable elegance:


"Architecture is not a goal...Architecture is for life and pleasure and work and for people. The picture frame, not the picture."


* My degree: A.B. with Architecture major, 1978
