Form follows function - that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.

The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.

Noble life demands a noble architecture for noble uses of noble men. Lack of culture means what it has always meant: ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall.

Architecture is life, or at least it is life itself taking form and therefore it is the truest record of life as it was lived in the world yesterday, as it is lived today or ever will be lived.

The architect should strive continually to simplify; the ensemble of the rooms should then be carefully considered that comfort and utility may go hand in hand with beauty.

If it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger.
