Dear John,

"Two elements must be distinguished precisely: the one intended to work for practical necessity and the one that is meant only to express directly the pure idea" (Karl Friedrich Schinkel)

This very idea of architecture influenced years later the work of Mies van der Rohe with the ideological opposition of form and function.

Best wishes,
R
