Summary

This quote emphasizes that architecture is not solely the result of individual brilliance or genius, but a collective effort of society. It suggests that the most significant architectural achievements are the products of a nation's collaborative endeavor, reflecting the values, aspirations, and progress of the community as a whole. Rather than attributing exceptional architecture to the fleeting inspiration of a single talented individual, the quote asserts that enduring architectural masterpieces are the result of the ongoing contributions and dedication of society over time. In this view, architecture becomes a manifestation of collective culture and societal progress.
