What is architecture? Frank Lloyd Wright, american architect "What is architecture anyway? Is it the vast collection of the various buildings which have been built to please the varying taste of the various lords of makind? I think not." "No, i know that argchitecture is life, or at least it is life itself taking form and therefore it is the truest record of life as it was lived in the world yesterday, as it is lived today or ever will be lived. So, architecture i know to be a Great Spirit....." "Architecture is that great living creative spirit which from generation to generation, from age to age, proceeds, persists, creates, according to the nature of man, and his circumstances as they change. That is really architecture." Louis Isadore Kahn "Architecture is the thoughtful making of spaces. It must evoke the feeling and symbolism of timeless human values."

Moses Bridge by RO&AD architecten Unconventional bridge under (yes, not oner-under) a mote of historical Netherlands former defense line, leads visitors through a water line without getting wet. Authors of this project are architects of a Netherland-Belgian atelir RO&AD. Unlike any ordinary bridge, the submerged construction does not obstruct the view of surrounding lancscape. It is built of Accoya wood, which makes the bridge not only durable, but also ecologically safe. The wood undergoes a non-toxic process of modification called acetylation, which protects it from molding and raises its form stability.
