11.2 Adolf LoosYou can regard architecture as a language that has agrammar and a vocabulary.

There are certain architectural elements that may be usedand there are rules about how these elements can becombined such that the author may say something that canbe clearly understood by others and persist over time.

The architect should have something to say and be able toformulate it in a classical, timeless way.

The mason knows how to build it.
