Buildings talk to me!

I hope that most architects can hear the words of buildings around them. Yesterday, while driving in some nice spring weather, with the kids yelling in the backseats and my wife trying to quiet them, I thought, "at least buildings don't talk." But that statement is false. Buildings talk, their volume can be loud and quiet, interesting discussions or boring, etc. Nonetheless, this is a way in which architecture is like music, physically, perceived by our senses, even before we begin to digest it or comprehend the art of the building. Sometimes the sarcasm that occurs makes you think about an everyday occurrence in a different manner. Don't stop looking for parallels in other facets of daily life.
