ust as a writer surrenders to language,
“Jpermitting the words to lead his hand
across the page, so will stone, brick, wood,
glass and marble suggest to the architect the
manner in which to use them. To denounce these
correspondences between artists and material as
mere animism would be to misunderstand. The
architect who denies these connections does so
at his own risk. The soul of his building will not
be visible. He will have become a barbarian.” *
