The quotes might not necessarily relate to the image, but hopefully will inspire and broaden your mind along with the visuals. Let's consider the philosophical meaning of architecture as it were.  

Architecture for me is visual representation and how it makes me feel. Even if I don't like the concept or genre, I can't help but feel an immense appreciation for its creation regardless.

It can be admired or criticized.
