Meaning

The experts need their poetry as much as their palate.

The dictionary of words for describing wine is inexhaustible, a boundless ocean with hazy shores defined only by human imagination. The possibilities of architectural design are likewise bound only by our inspiration and aspiration: in short, limitless and exhilaratingly free.

When a wine has had an exquisite upbringing and the requisite care in aging, what was once simply aroma develops into a bountiful and complex bouquet. Design that has witnessed generations with grace and dignity stretches the limits of language to define the many moods it reflects across days and years.

The pursuit of this exalted air is not a process of crafting wine or making architecture– it is a process of adding layers of meaning onto life.

“You employ stone, wood and concrete, and with these materials you build houses and palaces; that is construction. Ingenuity is at work. But suddenly you touch my heart, you do me good. I am happy and I say, ‘This is beautiful.’ That is architecture.” – Le Corbusier
