 I was in a conversation recently and someone said, yeah, but no one, who has the time for that anymore? Well, why do we not have time anymore? After four centuries of inventions, each one of which was a labor-saving device, why do we have less time than a peasant in China or India? The ideology says that they're struggling to survive and working their fingers to the bone, but when you actually go to these places, people are much less anxious, much less in a hurry. So money creates scarcity in everything it touches, scarcity of time, scarcity of beauty. The modern built environment is almost unremittingly ugly. And I drive down the four lane roads with the big box stores and the franchise restaurants and the strip malls. Maybe you don't have that so much in New Zealand, but I'm like, you know, after 5,000 years of architecture, is this the best we can do?
