#Kenneth_Frampton: We always have to put the building into the ground. And the question of how the ground is treated, and how you pass from the existing ground to the new ground of the building is always a very sensitive aspect. I think one of the tragic things about modernisation is that there is a very strong effort to turn building into a commodity. And of course the freestanding object is already moving towards its own commodification. The object that is integrated into the ground has the capacity to resist that commodification. And I think that would apply whether it’s inside the city or outside the city, although it can be more dramatic in a natural landscape.
