Brandt on form and meaning in art (PDF) →
In this view, beauty resides in the tension between two mental spaces, a presentation and a reference, a tension maintained by the phenomenological impossibility of subordinating one of these to the other.

The overall effect creates a feeling of an energetic, busy, sophisticated city that is intimately connected to our good earth. This is what a great city does for its people.
