To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history

Summary

This quote emphasizes that the purpose of creating architecture is not to simply imitate or mimic historical designs, but rather to interpret and express historical influences in a meaningful way. It implies that architecture should not be constrained to replica, but should be able to bring forth the essence and spirit of history through a contemporary lens. Instead of copying the past, this quote suggests that architecture should engage with history by understanding its significance and integrating it into innovative and contextually appropriate designs. Through this approach, architecture can effectively communicate and honor the legacy of the past while still being relevant in the present.
