"Architecture should be received by all of the senses, Colors which you can hear with ears;
Sounds to see with eyes;
The void you touch with your elbows;
The taste of space on your tongue;
The fragrance of dimensions;
The juice of stone." - http://robinhillphotography.com/blog/marcel-breuer-and-the-poem-of-architecture/
