Quote
"It is clear from these statements that Hertzberger believes in the second type of solution to the superblock, the solution that interprets the building as a small town. The designer should not try to establish patterns or particular formal hierarchies but should concentrate on providing the “possibility” of behaviour that is self-motivated."
