"The problem of architecture as I see it", he (the Professor) told a journalist...," is the problem of all art - the elimination of the human element from the consideration of form.The only perfect building must be a factory, because that is built to house machines, not men."...Two hours later the foreman in charge of the concretemixer came to consult the Professor. He had not moved from where the journalist had left him. - Evelyn Waugh, Decline and Fall, King's Thursday, 1928
