| 0:12.0 | This is the character of nature, but its |
| 0:16.9 | fluidity, its roughness, its irregularity will not be true unless it is made in the |
| 0:22.1 | knowledge that it is going to die. |
| 0:24.7 | No matter how much the person who makes a building is able to understand the rhythm of |
| 0:28.8 | regularity and irregularity, it will mean nothing so long as he creates it with the idea that it must be preserved |
