"[Traditional architecture's] economy, in the natural, evolutionary meaning of the word [means] obtaining best outcomes with minimum possible outlay of energy and resources. Like in nature, this fine-tuned balance usually also leads to aesthetically pleasing results. For practical example, a hi-tech shopping complex full of daring architectural features may be immediately impressive, but never creates a harmonious atmosphere of an old village square – we all know where almost all of us would prefer to live or visit for holidays."
