The Cubists and other
Pharisees of modern architecture refuse to admit the existence of such trifles
as national traditions, long-established habits and the congenital
peculiarities of human nature. For them, man is made for modern technique, not
modern technique for man. Thus, in the name of modern technique, Le Corbusier
would compel us all to inhabit a mixture of green-house and hospital ward,
furnished in the style of a dentist's operating chamber.
