Our period demands a type of man who can restore the lost equilibrium between inner and outer reality. This equilibrium, never static but, like reality itself, involved in continuous change, is like that of a tightrope dancer who, by small adjustments, keeps a continuous balance between his being and empty space.

荷蘭建築師Herman Hrtzberger認為“建築是生活的容器”，同時也需反映當下的技術（Giedion, 1967) 。而生活的經驗主要是由個人身體為出發點，開始啓動對空間的對話，並藉由身體的五官去感知外在的環境，進而建構自己所認知的空間。因此，在數位時代的建築初始教育中，從個人身體開始去了解建築，並將身體經驗整合至數位技術是重要的。

The elements Le Corbusier used are often to be found ready to hand in industry... Le Corbusier lifted these elements out of their everyday existence and changed them as the painters changed scraps of paper into art.

...our culture is like orchestra where the instruments lie ready tuned but where musician is cut off from his fellows by a soundproof wall.....it was just this unfortunate schism between its thought and feeling which struck down the magnificent power of the nineteenth century. Out of such a schism come split personalities and split civilizations.

Naturalistic art, as we know it, is an art which imitates the appearance of things, not as they are in reality, but as they appear at one moment from the point of view of a single spectator. This is the effect of perspective. Nothing of this sort existed in prehistory.
