CHARLES JENCKS, Londres-Coimbra, 27 Fevereiro 2019

"Influences come from within architecture and outside. It's clear that architecture is like opera. Opera has song, it has scenery, it has a story, it has many things. It's a hybrid form. Architecture is affected by the economy, by society, by taste, by groups, by the client, by money and yet by other architecture. So, it's very hybrid, like opera. Good architectural criticism, and history, shows what comes in and what comes out from the architect's imagination. I am arguing for a mixture of influences. Influences can be diagrammed. It doesn't tell you how good they are. May be bad influences but they're there. Architectural critics and architectural historians should be making that transparent, more transparent."

Assim, Charles Jencks encerrou a conversa com Professores e Estudantes do DARQ.

Um momento e um parágrafo para a escola recordar.
