'In this exhibition an encyclopaedic range of material from past and present is brought together... There is no single simple aim in this procedure. No watertight scientific or philosophical system is demonstrated. In short, it forms a poetic-lyrical order where images create a series of cross-relationships.'

Yet this statement could easily have been written about the current show Living: Frontiers of Architecture III-IV at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark.
