Radical vs Conservative

"... So again, Radical versus Conservative. Radical, what does it mean? It is something that is rooted deep in a tradition and i think that is what architecture is. It's radical, it's not just a conservation in formaldehyde of dead forms. It is actually a living connection to the cosmic event that we are part of and a story that is certainly ongoing. It's not something that has a good ending or a bad ending. It's actually a story in which our acts themselves are pushing the story in a particular way. So again, i am a believer in the radical architecture. You know, the soviet architecture, of that building [zlota 44, Warsaw] is the conservation, it's like the old Las Vegas used to be. It's about conserving emotions, conserving the traditions that have obstructed the mind in moving forward. And of course, what is radical is to confront them. I think architecture is a confrontation of our own senses, therefore i think it should not be cool...."
