Creator's Words

"I thought of the design for the 'House of God' in the hope of making a house for Man. The city is Man's house. It is where he lives, works and communicates with other people. It is a collective space where history and memory reside, where work, the strains of work and people's hopes are accumulated. To build a cathedral today is an extraordinary opportunity to create and enrich the environment in which we live. it is a new sign, awaited by Man." –Mario Botta [2]
