Supply And Demand Regulate Architectural Form.

The Law Courts Must Appear As A Threatening Gesture Toward Secret Vice. The Bank Must Declare: Here Your Money Is Secure And Well Looked After By Honest People.

If Nothing Were Left Of An Extinct Race But A Single Button, I Would Be Able To Infer, Form The Shape Of That Button, How These People Dressed, Built Their Houses, How They Lived, What Was Their Religion, Their Art, Their Mentality.

Architecture Arouses Sentiments In Man. The Architect's Task Therefore, Is To Make Those Sentiments More Precise.

The Work Of Art Is Brought Into The World Without There Being A Need For It. The House Satisfies A Requirement. The Work Of Art Is Responsible To None; The House Is Responsible To Everyone. The Work Of Art Wants To Draw People Out Of Their State Of Comfort.

The House Has To Please Everyone, Contrary To The Work Of Art Which Does Not. The Work Is A Private Matter For The Artist. The House Is Not.
