...talkative of the pair, is quick to explain that the fragrance was not an attempt to go head to head with J. Lo. They just wanted to make a theoretical point. "We very strongly insist on architecture's potential to reach all the senses," he says, "not just the visual. At a time of digital media and cyberspace, architecture has this old-fashioned potential.

It wasn’t too long ago that some philosophers, such as Georg Hegel, deemed the sole function of art as a way to convey the Spirit of God in visual terms. Its ultimate purpose, in his opinion, was to disappear entirely once mortals were enlightened with the Spirit. Plato himself believed in the eternal existence within the subjects of a work as an imitation of a phenomenal world...
