Notes:
Has your notion of what’s appropriate to the campus’s historic fabric changed over the years? The biggest shift in my mind—and this has something to do with Stanford, but obviously it has to do with the world environment—is that things are much more transitory, even in the campus. We used to have this expression, “We’re building for the next century.” It’s been replaced with,'We’re building for 30 to 50 years.'Because, really, it’s the plan and the landscape that are going to be here a lot longer in terms of ordering whatever will come—although the architecture is what people talk about."
