The reason why we forgot that is because the times in history when architecture did the most to transform society were those times when, actually, the one percent would build on behalf of the 99 percent, for various different reasons, whether that was through philanthropy in the 19th century, communism in the early 20th, the welfare state, and most recently, of course, through this inflated real estate bubble.
We vergeten dat, omdat de historische momenten waarop architectuur het meest hielp in de transformatie van de samenleving, waren wanneer de 1%, om allerlei redenen, bouwde voor de 99%, of dat nu was door filantropie in de 19de eeuw, het communisme in de vroege 20ste eeuw, de welvaartsstaat, en meest recent, uiteraard door die opgeblazen vastgoed-luchtbel.
