Ben Joseph Speltz
Architect
Question: Is BS a Romanticist, with a contemporary romantic taste? Is he a classicist? Answer: "I do not believe that architecture can, or should try to, express the spirit of an age. To become mythical, to transmit a perennial message and value, I think that the architect's work has to transcend the particularities of its era of creation."
