The total oeuvre of Ambasz stands as a triumph of imagination in a world still dominated by fundamentalist modernism. Ambasz stands or flies in the manner of an Icarus or a Prometheus to comfort us with the message that all is not lost and the horizon is full of exciting possibilities for the physical design disciplines.
