If everything we built was not only functional, but beautiful also, how much more pleasant would our city be? My description of this principle is lame at best, try to get a ticket to Friday or Saturday to hear the real deal. “Beauty is truth, truth beauty–that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.” John Keats
