WE
ARE SURROUNDED BY ARCHITECTURE. WE SPEND OVER 90% OF OUR LIVES IN ARCHITECTURE OR IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHICH IS INFLUENCED BY ARCHITECTURE! HOW STRONGLY ARE WE IMPRINTED BY THIS? ISN'T ARCHITECURE THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT OF MANKIND? DOESN'T` THE EXISTENCE OF ARCHITECTURE MAKE POSSIBLE THE CREATIVE PERFORMANCE OF MAN? |
| My only means of expressions is the straight line. This deliberate restriction emerges from the perception that the time we live in differs from all times before through the fact "that the building human being with all of his machinery and tools is able to produce serial, uniform elements in the same quality as well cheap and in big numbers." My conclusion: "It has to be analysed whether a new principle of building can be found by multiplying and ranging those serial elements." |
