Acabo de volver a toparme con mi libreta de apuntes que use en Londres de 1995 al 96.

Prof. Paul Hirst
Historiagraphy of Architecture
Nothing can be known unless it has something to define itself against.
There is no pure conciensness / it depends on something

Prof. Mark Cousins

The “site” is an effect of architecture to make a site.
The site is a dimension of a building.
