We must go back to a point where architects took responsibility for rhetoric, for how their buildings communicated intentionally, how “decorum” and bien-s ́eance were consciously achieved. Presented through an abstract system of relations, between all parts of the building, an architect’s primary role is to express the meanings a culture finds significant, as well as elucidate certain ideas and feelings that haven’t previously reached expression, an art made by all for all. aspired to be a paradigm of the classic, of that which is timeless, meaningful, and true. Each “piece” in the line is fully resolved and tends to disappear or, better yet, to dissolve formally in the assembly. This is the architect’s job and pleasure, not, let us hope, ever again his “problem.”

structure and form need to be carefully considered, all parts of a structure need to be both functionally and aesthetically integral to eachother, to speak a language to the people who interact with it.
