... it may be seen that the present day architectural discussion is far less concerned about an inner structure, motives and themes
than it is by reevolving of fashionable discourses and ephemeral signs. Though the conditions of both elitist concern and urban
reality have changed since the highlights of vulgar modernity, important contributions have indeed been ariticulated recently and
maybe will be further developped within the next few years throughout the world. But a part of the architectural community is in
danger of a stalemate of just reproducing exercises in two-dimensional geometry.
The quality of Renaissance-concerns of urbanity and sociology are far above our present day discourse but there are elements in the
rumour of architectural conversation that make us believe that particular epoch of the old world could become more of an authority
to future years ...
