      Pablo Georgieff: I sympathize with these people

      [who are occupying the building]

      Pablo Georgieff: . And I feel conflicted about the situation. These are the contradictions of our society today. It's right for people to occupy, to have a home to live in and raise their children. Preserving and restoring an architectural masterpiece, even if it's left empty, is also right. But it's right against right, wrong against wrong. We live in the midst of these injustices, these outrages and dreams. This building tells the story of what happened and is happening in the world today.
