Specialist note
‘I invented the "architecture pill". At that time, pharmaceuticals were developed which overcome claustrophobia or agoraphobia, which allowed rooms to appear less threatening by enlarging or reducing them perceptually. I imagined that one might even be able to produce images of architecture with pills, and I exhibited pills that I named, for example, "Hagia Sophia", "Sydney Opera" or "Stonehenge". The term architecture has been expanded in every direction, and my sentence "Everything is architecture" haunts me to this day’ – Hans Hollein
