“13 Lincoln’s Inn Fields illustrates that the best built work contains architecture’s real artifice: the deception of static completion. Soane constructed an architecture that renders interior space a renewable resource. By breaking down a conventional image and translating its constituent parts through the material of building, he was able to achieve unconventional architecture that perpetuates infinite new images of its form and space.“
