bullshit in architecture

"The perpetual enlargement of the human estate cannot be sustained because it will eventually overwhelm the capacity and fecundity of natural systems and cycles. The unrestrained development of any and all technology canot be sustianed without courting risks and adverse consequences...a world of ever increasing economic, financial and technological complexity cannot be sustained because sooner or later, it will overwhelm our capacity to manage. A world divided by narrow, exclusive and intense allegiances to ideology or ethnicity cannot be sustained because its people will have too little humour, compassion, forgiveness and wisdom to save themselves" (David Orr, Last Refuge: Patriotism, Politics and the Environment in an Age of Terror)
