| Photocopies from 'Fantastical Architecture', Hermann Finsterlin drawings |
"Within Bruno Taut's circle of friends, Hermann Finsterlin was the most extreme exponent of a sculpturally interpreted architecture. His designs are intriguing as pictures, projecting themselves as they do into a world of unknown conditions. As Architecture, these sheets of drawings must have caused a sensation at the time they were published, although they could have been understood as non-objective sculpture even then"

| 'Little Red Dot Against the Grand Canyon' Eva Prokop (2007) |
"The truth is that no one knows for sure though there are some pretty good guesses...The most powerful force to have an impact on the Grand Canyon is erosion, primarily by water (and ice) and second by wind. Other forces that contributed to the Canyon's formation are the course of the Colorado River itself, vulcanism, continental drift and slight variations in the earths orbit which in turn causes variations in seasons and climate."
