Form is just an understanding of the differences between things. ..... Take a little from it, and the form will be destroyed. ..... Design is an exercise, or an entity composed of cognitive forms. For example, if you consider the so-called "spoon", you will think of a container and a handle. Take away the container, and there is only a sword-like thing left. When the handle is removed, it becomes a cup. Put them in one place and they become a spoon. However, "spoon" is not a spoon, but a form. A spoon can be made of silver, wood or paper-it becomes a spoon, which is the design. ..... This can be analogized to houses and anything we make. -louis kahn

A city in an old eastern country will be greatly distressed in terms of cultural expression and aesthetics if it completely loses its artistic characteristics in architecture. —— Liang Sicheng
