"The notion of discovering an underlying order in matter is man's
basic concept for
exploring nature. The architecture of things reveals a structure below the surface, a hidden
grain which, when it is laid bare, makes it possible to take natural formations apart and
assemble them in new arrangements. For me this is the step in the ascent of man at which
theoretical science begins. And it's as native to the way man conceives his own
communities as well as nature".
