    “History is meant to be understood, and not only to be read. We have a great example in our history of how in the middle of cultural clashes a new beauty comes to life and enriches our art and architectural landscape forever; I’m referring to Spain and specifically, Alhambra, Granada, where a unique new dematerialized architecture, an architecture of illusion and insubstantiality was born that made a strong contrast to the simple unornamented abstract architecture and puritanical white wash of the Muslim north African architecture as well as the opposite to the Gothic architecture of the Christian Europe forever.”
