The Potemkin City Of Which I Wish

I Have Emerged Victorious From My Thirty Years Of Struggle. I Have Freed Mankind From Superfluous Ornament.

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

The Work Of Art Shows People New Directions And Thinks Of The Future. The House Thinks Of The Present.

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.

Man Loves Everything That Satisfies His Comfort. He Hates Everything That Wants To Draw Him Out Of His Acquired And Secured Position And That Disturbs Him. Thus He Loves The House And Hates Art.
