“James Stirling said a long time ago that he knows a lot of chairs that have great, great presence. And that word, “presence,” is possible at all scales. Size sometimes makes presence more difficult to achieve simply because of its lack of connectedness to anything around it. So when one is designing something of a scale, from a chair to a very tall building, one has to search tirelessly for a means of connecting to a place so it seems to flow naturally from it.” - William Pederson
