Quote by Thom Mayne
You might say that when you step inside, you're entering a honorific space, but that's something totally different than experiencing it. And in architecture the experience comes first. That has the deepest effect on us.
Summary
In this quote, the emphasis is placed on the importance of experiencing architecture rather than simply acknowledging or admiring it. The quote suggests that entering a space may hold a certain level of reverence or respect, but it is only through the actual experience of the architecture that true impact is made. The quote implies that an individual's personal encounter and interaction with a space are what have the most profound and lasting effect on them, over and above any initial perception or interpretation of the space.
