The Japanese architectural legend Ito Toyo has said: “ Buildings in the 20th century existed to serve a single function — they were machines to escape from nature. But in the 21st century, there will have to be continuity between people, buildings and nature, not only in terms of energy savings but also harmonization with the environment and society. ”
日本建築大師伊東豐雄曾說，「20 世紀的建築是作為獨立的機能體存在的，就像一部與自然脫離的機器；但到了 21 世紀，人、建築都需要與自然環境建立一種連續性，不僅是節能的，還是生態的、與社會相協調的。」
