“Here's the Xylem Pavilion in {{w|Montana}} at the site of Temple Rice Art Center. ...I wanted to go back to {{w|Burkina Faso}} and... learn from the tradition... to design the pavilion.., a gathering space where people can come.., meet and rest. ...[T]he {{w|Toguna}} was an inspiration for that... The taguna is... a landmark in the Dogon land.., the symbol of freedom, of peace... The Toguna... forced people to enter not standing.., taking away aggressivity.., by sitting you cannot be aggressive.”
