Quote by Dan Cruickshank
In short, the building becomes a theatrical demonstration of its functional ideal. In this romanticism, high-tech architecture is, of course, no different in spirit -- if totally different in form -- from all the romantic architecture of the past.
Summary
This quote suggests that the design of a building can act as a showcase or expression of its intended purpose. It argues that high-tech architecture is no exception, as it shares the same romantic ideals found in traditional architectural styles, despite its modern and innovative form. Just like previous romantic architectural movements, high-tech architecture seeks to create an aesthetic and functional representation of its intended use.
