“Inspired by [his] views of time and place, I would be drawn back to my native South Africa by my deep connection to nature. I had begun to see Lou Kahn’s powerful philosophical constructs in a new light that embraced ecological dynamics as the shaper of form.” Stan Field from his essay, “From the Ground”
