- The author once severely criticized Artigas's building for the School of Architecture and Urban Planning in Sao Paulo for its poor response to climatic factors. Students at the school were utterly consternated by this criticism because to them the building had great symbolic value. To criticize the building was to criticize Artigas, who was a hero to the students because of his outspokenness against the military regime of Brazil. Buildings do not speak. What we “read” into a building does not come from its form, but from the stories we know about it. To call an architect's particular style a language is a perversion of the concept of language as no meaning is communicated through it. Language, in a strict sense, is communication of thought through speech-sound, and the word should be used in that sense only.
