Architecture to me is successful when the community is empowered by it, is edified by it, and is 

elevated by it.     —      Steven Litt, cleveland.com, "Q&A with David Adjaye, designer of Smithsonian's African American museum," 13 May 2018

indefinitely until Maestro Right should miraculously appear, wasn’t edifying.
