Architecture is always built out of architecture, there is no tabula rasa. This essay is built like the architecture it examines. It consists of fragments, interpretations, and intentions.

The various levels intersect and overlap – sometimes in contrast, sometimes with empathy. The reader is called upon to put the fragments together for himself or herself.
