      Nice interview, I liked how he pinpoints classic design in America. he is so fluid and candid. The examples he cites are excellent. I am going to order his books NOW!

      Ppl draw and write in order to "see" what they think, otherwise it would just come out in a pattern-less, even unconscious, stream. A building can viewed as a container for organizing life in this way. It is not that form follows function, but that function follows form. Once we have designed something it pretty well dictates what we do. When we stop seeing things in this way the structure has to be either converted or demolished. In contemporary parlance we could call this a paradigm shift. Speaking of swooping airport terminals, I remember flying out of Dulles in 1963, when the terminal had just been completed and you had to walk across the ramp and walk up boarding stairs like any old time airport. You could argue that Saarinen was more interested in form than function, but I would argue that what he lacked was a conception of the form of airports, for he followed the form that all airports had taken to that time, when in fact he ought to have seen the form that seaports had taken.
