Where we live

Both of the books I have recently read have a quote from Winston Churchill; "There is no doubt whatever about the influence of architecture and structure upon human character and action. We make our buildings and afterwards they make us. They regulate the course of our lives." These words are so true and can be attributed to our lifestyle in America. We are consumers through and through, with developers breeding us to accept poor grade architecture as sufficient living quarters. Let's have more fun about architecture, not just the dollar signs, but how we interact and use our spaces, both public and private.
