asked once, if the mark of a successful architect is great three-dimensional thinking, fentress answered; "an architect must think in, at the very least, seven dimensions. every decision has a dimension of time. then construction and manufacturing enter in – how do the phases flow together. money – where do you conserve, where do you splash to make a statement? you have to think wind loads – many sorts of stress – structural, seismic and personal. all the while you must stay aware of the human experience you are creating." those interested in further exploring fentress' unique perceptions on architecture will find his seven touchstones of design published in the book "architecture in the public interest" edizioni press. see also further reading below.
