Contingent observations like this can be traced to the beginnings of Greek speculative thought—dating back to the Milesian school—where some of “those [philosophers] who discoursed on nature” discovered them in a geometric relation. Similarly, architecture, building from its cosmic foundations and position relative to the sun, also participates in such climatic affairs. As the light of noon and the dark of the night are the front and back of the same solar day, it is the play—the winds and weather—of both that renders its buildings alive. And, while looking at them in such undecided measure might open a similar space of incompatibility at first, then, secondly, they might engender a strength equally hard to sort out. Much like sunlight, heat, or smoke, a masterful building conveys power, and yet, just like nature itself, any of those forces refuse to be owned, but they can be contracted to welcome the other nature(s) of today.
