Summary

This quote emphasizes the limitations of visual media in accurately representing the true experience of seeing a building. While photographs and films can provide a visual depiction, they fail to capture the full essence and impact of being physically present in the presence of a building. To truly comprehend a building, one must engage with it firsthand and explore its various aspects, such as its size, texture, and spatial qualities. The quote suggests that only by immersing oneself in the physical presence of a building can one fully understand and appreciate its true form and impact.
