Manrique: "All modern technology can be perfectly included in the mixture of human sensitivity present in a more artistic architecture. It does not have to obey an aggressive geometric formula blindly".

Photo: A view through the window from the house of César Manrique - now a museum - on the surrounding lava-fields, in Tahiche, Lanzarote. The architecture is designed in harmony with the geological landscape. Some of its rooms are made in so-called volcanic bubbles, that were formed during the latest eruptions.

Manrique: "The universe has already discovered all things. All we have to do now is be more humble, acknowledge our own limitations and try by all means to learn from the experience of millions of centuries of this marvelous spatial harmony which it has been our fate to discover".
