The Present Moment Is Creative, Creating With

Modern Life Demands, And Is Waiting For, A New Kind Of Plan, Both For The House And The City.

Our World, Like A Charnel-house, Is Strewn With The Detritus Of Dead Epochs.

You Employ Stone, Wood And Concrete, And With These Materials You Build Houses And Palaces. That Is Construction. Ingenuity Is At Work. But Suddenly You Touch My Heart, You Do Me Good, I Am Happy And I Say: This Is Beautiful. That Is Architecture. Art Enters In.

Genius Is Personal, Decided By Fate, But It Expresses Itself By Means Of System. There Is No Work Of Art Without System.

We Must Kill The Street. We Shall Truly Enter Into Modern Town Planning Only After We Have Accepted This Preliminary Determination.
