"...the structure of a city is not just the carapace of society.
On the contrary, its structure acts as a symbolic control programme on par with
the ritual constraints which are known to regulate the behaivour of various tribes
and which render this behavior homeostatic rather than divergent. Hence, the
architect is responsible for building conventions and shaping the development
of traditions (this comment simply elevates the idea that a building controls
its inhabitants to a higher level organization)."
